Jun 20 - of convicts and their escapades

Fremantle is a lovely port town - a quick train ride from Perth. Spent the morning at the Fremantle markets - lovely stalls with everyone from gourmet food , local trinkets , souvenirs and arts and crafts. Not to mention live music.

Onwards to cappuccino strip - a nice strip of coffee shops, restaurants and boutique shops made for a relaxed afternoon. Headed to the harbour at dusk - a line of seafood restaurants by the harbour. A cute, lit up Ferris wheel, cool sailboats tied up to the marina, a whaling tunnel, and a sleepy side of town on my walk back.

 Checked in at the Fremantle prison yha and read about the lives of prisoners and stories of them trying to escape, being caught again and executed. A bit depressing but the hostel was shiny , spanking new, remodeled  - so it wasn't exactly depressing to stay overnight in a prison.
