The wagamama

Today starts with a plate-winner: "Porker". A porker would be a person that sounds like a pig more or less. Charming, innit?

And we saw "Lewis 5".

"Donelle" was also there.

We visited a little town called Kalamunda today. The girls went to a market and Maurice and I tested the local pub. That pub was fantastic. No pictures unfortunately but they brew a lot of their own beers with imported ingredients from Germany. Their beers get brewed according to the german "reinheits-gebot" which is an old rule instatiated by King Wilhelm IV that says that beer can only be brewed with certain "pure" ingredients. This was to protect the german people from nasty immitations or dangerous substances. The "Dark ale" served here was the best beer I have ever tasted. Unfortunately not for sale anywhere else...

The huge cart is called a Whim it seems. used to carry big tree trunks.

Like the Whim, an old locomotive including the station and many other old buildings from the town of Kalamunda have been kept and moved into their little town museum. Maurice and I went here to have a look how these people lived here about 30-100 years ago.

The locomotive was build in Glasgow in the year 1897. It was in remarkably good shape.

This little cottage belonged to one of the first settlers of Kalamunda.

Back in Perth we visited the local Wagamama noodle restaurant. Being big fans of this world-wide chain we had to eat there once we found out there was one in Perth. There's none in Adelaide unfortunately.

As should be clear by this picture and the previous, you can eat with chopsticks if you like.... Or you can entertain the people around you with them.

I was happy with number 71 of the menu: Chicken katsu curry. De-li-cious.

This photo was made especially for Placido, our favourite waiter at Waga's Amsterdam.
"KNIGHTSY" was at the scene. Bit of a funny name if you ask me.

In the evening Maurice and I played some poker. First Texas Hold'm no limit and later some kind of Irish poker or more like "Murphy" poker as it was often played in the Murphy family on many social occasions.
