Well, since today is last day in Perth, I'll tell the truth. We chose this hotel for several reasons. Aberdeen, where Stan wants to search for wife of William Craig, married before 1732, was booked all but Friday night, so this is our halfway stop. Smaller, slower, more normal lifestyles than in the larger cities.
The hotel we booked is 100 yards across a two lane curve from the train station, so it was easy to find and roll our luggage across. We stuffed all of us in the tiny elevator (seriously, not even room to add Samson!) to get to our 5th floor room with view. But we also chose this hotel because it's Best Western. Stan registered us with them several years ago when we first realized they were easily found in Europe and have a points system that enables us to stay for free occasionally. And, there is a full gym (not essential) with pool, sauna, spa.. Ah, yes, there's the truth of it. No castles have been visited in Perth, but the pool, sauna and I are well-acquainted. (there's even a noodle for me to use, floating around the pool! YEAH!) The thick robe and slippers are even provided! And the daily bowl of fruit is much enjoyed, too.
So, I may have forfeited my chance to be a distinguished Rick Steves guide, but most of you probably knew we were sounding far too erudite to be us.
