The First Day at Perth

Today was our first day in Perth. Perth is colder than Singapore. Today the weather in Perth was 10 degrees Celsius. All thirty of us were shivering and shaking in the cold weather.
We then boarded the coach and went to Fremantle.First, we went to the monumental hill. Next, we went to the fishing boat harbour, after that we went to the Fremantle weekend market.
There, we did our souvenir shopping.There were shops that sold souvenirs and many other things like dolls and clothing. We went to a souvenir shop first. The souvenirs there were cheaper than the other shops that we went to.
After an hour of spending money at the Fremantle Market, we made our way to the Fremantle Chocolate factory. There were many types of chocolate there, but those that were for tasting were only,milk,dark and white chocolate.All three of them were equally nice, but I liked the dark chocolate the best.
Then everyone got hungry. Our bus driver, Trevor told us it was taka ( I'm not so sure about the spelling, so I'll just stick with this )time. That was what the Australians say when it is time for a meal. Trevor drove us to a dining place called 'Sweet Lips'. There everybody tried the local fish 'n' chips. It was really good.
After our taka time, Trevor drove us to the Apricot Acres Fruit Orchard. At the orchard, there were not only apricots, but also grapes, oranges and peaches. The farmer took us on his ferry, attached to his tractor, around the different patches of fruits. We learnt about all the different fruits there- the grapes, peaches and oranges.
We all got tired and checked-in at Orchard Glory Farm. Then it was time to have dinner. Dinner was nice.
