PAT AND DIETER's TRAVELS
Perth and Home
Our flight from Mauritius to Perth arrived at 9am and we were all checked-in to the PanPacific by about 10am. The hotel was a little disappointing as we thought we were getting an upgraded room with our Luxury Escapes packages but in fact the "upgrade" part referred to access to the Club Lounge. As it turned out the Club was closed for renovations but was located in their all-day dining restaurant from noon.
After a nap we did a walk around the Perth waterfront - I was not feeling too well but we stopped at a pub for a beer, mineral water and bowl of chips.
After showers we went to the Club for Happy Hour which turned out to be very good = good selection of beers, wines and soft drinks as well as plenty of hot and cold food. So we skipped dinner.
During the night disaster stuck - I was up all night sick as a dog - clearly gastro or even food poisoning from Air Mauritius. This continued for the next few days so we ending not doing much of anything in Perth.
We caught our QF flight to Sydney on Oct 11 - a very - an A330 with flat beds - thanks to an AA award booking.
Finally we reached home around 7:50pm on Friday Oct 11 - I rushed over to the IGA to get some milk, cream and yoghurt before they closed.
By this time Dieter did not feel too good either so we both spent the next fews days lying low.
