Needed a short getaway and spent a super productive 60h in Perth! So I thought March is towards the end of Aussie summer and the temperature forecast was initially around 25 degrees. But as the trip drew closer, the temperature forecast kept rising and reached a peak of 39 degrees on my second day when I went to Rottnest Island! While it was definitely hot, it didn't feel as uncomfortable as the heat in Singapore as the humidity is only around 30+% in Perth, so you sweat less. Nevertheless, this meant excellent weather for outdoor activities. For this trip, I took Scoot and the round trip cost less than $300 which is a great deal. For my hotel, I went with The Melbourne Hotel (yes, the name is confusing) situated around 15min by walking from the Perth CBD station. It's a 5 star hotel, but I chose it primarily because the gym is open 24h!
