Day 3 and 4 - Perth Sept 2009

Vroom vroom to Margaret River!

The naps, the GPS, the photos...Good enough to dedicate one collage for it...Hahaha...

We've passed by Rockingham,Mandurah,Capel,Busselton, Cape Naturaliste and finally, Magaret River!

Rockingham - We set off a day too early and thus cant get to go to penguin Island as it was still closed for the season! Saddens! No dolphins too! But we took with the fako one..hahaha..Had a sumptuous breakfast at one of the cafe though...And this pig felt sleepy after breakfast, that she couldnt tahan the drive to Mandurah and had to stop on the expressway and let me drive...Hahahaha....

Mandurah - Me and shuang were spending quite abit of time taking pictures here and there, while Pig was busy sleeping in the car! Oh, and we were super fascinated by one pelican that we saw and just couldnt stop taking pictures with it...Little did we know we would be disgusted by the pelicans soon enough...Will elaborate more in the next entry...Hurhur..SUSPENSE!

Capel - We were supposed to go to the Bunbury Visitor Centre..But the GPS brought us to Capel, and we took a break at this super ulu, out of nowhere cafe..But nonetheless, pig still bought sth from there! And I was only supposed to drive the 100km from Mandurah to Bunbury, who knows, Capel is about 20km more! So by the time we reached Capel, I was super ready to slp at the backseat! Hahaah....

Busselton and Cape Naturaliste - We only stopped by Busselton so that we could find the way to Cape Naturaliste, coz the stupid GPS didnt have it!!! Hahahaha...Talking about Cape Naturaliste, just when we tot we reached...NOOOOOOOOOO...It was a freaking long drive in to the lighthouse!!! And upon reaching the carpark, there was still a 20min walk to the lighthouse itself...so the lazy us decided to take pictures from afar and of course, sun was setting, so had to leave asap and vroom to MR.

FINALLYYYYY!!! Riverview Tourist Park...Niceeeeee

Piggy made dinner for us..But I couldnt finish it...Sorriieeeeeee....
Oh yes, above is my version...But Shuang came over yesterday and said that she dont like the picture with her showing her LONG and sexy legs(weet weet)...so she made another one...

Rest and Relaxxxxxxxx

Cukoooo Cukoooo(7am)
Took a quick drive to Cape Leeuwin...Coz our schedule was super packed for the day, so we decided to set off early...little did we know that we were TOOOOOO early...So we spent about an hour waiting for the staff to reach Cape Leeuwin...In the meantime, we took pictures, tested our limits with the wind...Hahaha...Oh yes, a little background about Cape Leeuwin..It is the tallest lighthouse in the South Western Aussie region and it is the place where 2 oceans meet, namely the Indian and Southern Ocean. And after the morning of braving the storm, Indian Ocean wins by constantly bringing winds of super high speed and doing free styling for my hair!!!! Hahahahaha

We took so many pictures that I had to put it into 2 collages!
Hahahaha..Afterall, we spent some money and energy climbing up the lighthouse!!!!
Look at the 2 fellas hiding behind the car to shield themselves from the winds of Indian Ocean!
Again, Shuang's version...

Afterward, we proceeded to the caves...
Starting off, we have the Jewel Cave! In my opinion, the nicest of all. And that's when Pig realised that she was afraid of caves...When she was walking in front, she asked me if I was behind her..Dont worry...I will get your back..Hurhur...

Next, Lake Cave! It was pretty small after seeing Jewel Cave...Haha...but it was nice too, coz it had its own lighting show! NIceee...but too difficult to talk pictures, coz too dark liao....

Oh, there was this caveworks exhibition and me and Shuang went to try cave crawling...Super hard, but we had a great time!!! Too bad Pig was in skirt...EHH...SKIRTS IN SPRING? Yes, she did tremble a lot during the trip! Hahahaha

Finally, Mammoth Cave. This was the cave without a guide and we had to listen to some MP3 and then walk as the 'stones' were explained to us. Again, Pig felt scared, because this cave was super quiet...Only had us! And pig was super worried that we would get lost. Apparently, they have sensors that can detect which part of the cave you are in and then they will light up the stones for you..but sometimes, there is some lag time...and this Pig will get scared coz it was dark! Haha...But we just simply walked through...nth much to see anw, after seeing 2 caves liao...

And we ended off the day with visits to XANADU Winery! Nice niceeeeeee...Also took a drive to Watershed, but din take any pictures...coz too many cooks spoil the soup. Similarly, too many wineries spoil the wine! Hahahahaha...

That's all! Next entry would be our last day in Perth!
