Escape to WA


Life has been pretty chaotic lately...busy with work mostly...and given the mad rush in the morning, I haven't been able to take any pictures...don't really have to mood to dress up either...so it's better not to show what I'm wearing...haha...:P

But still managed to go on a holiday with the bf...yippee...I love Holidays!!!

Went to Western Australia, covering Perth, Mandurah and Margaret River...

Really like it in Australia...There's a laidback vibe to it and the weather is cool with gentle breeze...it does get really cold at night though...good excuse to cuddle up I guess...;P

Managed to drop by many places along the road trip...Highlights include a sightseeing flight above rottnest island on a hmm-I-don't-know-what-it's-called smallish 4-seater plane...I think it's really cool...Great experience...and the sight was breathtaking....



Had fish and chips at Fremantle and took a nice pic on the beach when the sun was setting...

We also managed to go to King's park where we took this pic... hee...so cute ya? ;P

Spent around 3 days in Perth City. After which, we dropped by Mandurah, enroute to Margaret River. Bunked in at a friend's place in Mandurah...very hospitable couple...almost couldn't believe there are such nice people around...really heartwarming...and we celebrated bf's birthday there...=)


Happiness...;)



This is all of us...looking slightly intoxicated...haha



Night view outside their lovely home...can see many many stars...beautiful...we spotted a kangaroo hopping past too...but it was freezing cold...and we couldn't really hang out there for long...


After the short stay in Mandurah, we drove to Margaret River...

Margaret River was beautiful and picturesque with nice lighthouse and beaches...

That's us walking towards the lighthouse...things you can do with a tripod...heh...



Of course we didn't miss the chance to climb to the top of the lighthouse...very pretty...and windy too...feels like I'm being blown away...


Went wine tasting in the many vineyards lining the entire Margaret River...was very educational...am able to appreciate wine so much better after this enriching trip...nice to unwind with a nice bottle of white wine once in a while...


Aww...Love Australia...I'm missing it already...will be going back there soon I hope...;)
Oh well, looking forward to the next trip...
