I tore myself away from the computer to go to the markets at
Fremantle. They still hold a certain facination for me and my wife
that no other market can copy.

Fremantle has changed drastically. Most places you just get 1 hour
parking for $ 1.20 and worse still you have a maximum of just 2 hours.
By the time you have walked to your destination and returned you are
lucky to have 1 hour for your errand.

Now if you are stupid enough to decide to have lunch in the esplanade
Lounge then time is of the essence.

It took 18 minutes to have 2 glasses of guinness served and 35 minutes
to have 2 croisants with chicken served cold at the table. 

The temperature of the meal, even the french fries were cold indicated
that these meals must have been standing for some considerable time in
a draught - still I suppose that blew the flies away. It really is
well overdue to ginger the staff at that place up a little. It
certainly will do the tourist trade a lot of harm.

My advise is therefore leave Fremantle and the Esplanade alone and get
into a shopping centre somewhere in the northern suburbs of Perth.
Parking is free and there appears to be no time limit and meals are
served very quickly.
