Return to Mandurah

After too many hot days in a row, including more 40 degrees forecast, it was time for another brief Mandurah escape. The sea breeze always brings down the temperature to some extent.

When I arrived at Seashells, I was annoyed to find no spaces in the undercover carpark, except for at least half with a big Reserved sign on them. These belonged to penthouse suites and other apartments privately owned, but they were all unoccupied. In the end, I parked next to all the laundry trolleys waiting to be collected. I soon got a phone call asking to remove my car. I insisted they found me another spot : and not one outside in the hot sun. I’ve never had this problem before and put it down to the fact that Seashells staff must be using the spaces. Anyway, I did get a covered park and could relax and have a siesta.

I’m on the first floor with a view over the lake:

This is the sea view at the front of the property:

One issue with this room is the enormous TV screen which glowed with this picture all night long:

There are also a couple of new pics by Emma, whose work is all over the hotel:
