Spent a nice (but awfully quiet) day in Fremantle. Guess I can blame it on the weather and it being during the week, not as much people as I expected. Oh well.
Started off in the maritime museum - where I found an exhibition with thanks to the Rotterdam, Den Haag and some other dutch places, because they were lending stuff which was on display...travel across the whole freakin globe, and you still see the same stuff...nah, just kidding. It was well worth it, especially the remainders of the Batavia (Dutch VOC ship). Had lunch at Little Creatures Brewery, that was good beer! I at least had the decency to go to the museum first, the old folks on the train went straight to the beer. Guess they've had their fair share of history already.
Toured the jail - impressive, strange, haunting and beautiful all at once. The size of it, the feeling you get while you're in there, the gallows and the paintings in there...walked around the rest of town for a bit, reckon I should go there with good weather during a weekend - sounds more promising. Oh right, get this; on the way back I saw two old men looking into a XXX-shop, having a really serious discussion by the looks of it, and I hear one saying to the other - it runs on three AAA batteries...
Enjoyed the sunset on the way back in the train, all the other people were staring at me because I got up and took a picture of it...guess they didn't realize what they were missing/neglecting
