HELLO PEOPLE (WHO HAVE BEEN MISSING ME SO DEARLY), I AM BACK!

Alright, so I was at Western Australia for about five-six days. Annnnnd! I went to Perth, Rockingham (+ Penguin & Seal Islands), Fremantle, Mandurah, Lancelin and some other places. It was really fun I'd say, but now I'm even darker than before.

Okay to make things simple, I'll just post some photos and mention a little about each day's happenings! (I can't remember exactly what happened anyway. Even if I do, I'll take eons to complete my entire story.) 

So, Day 1: PERTH. Oh there ain't any photos 'cause we landed around 2-3pm and did nothing much that day. Checked in, booked some land tours, walked around the shopping areas and had dinner at some western restaurant. Yeah that's about all.

Day 2: FREMANTLE! We took a ferry there in the morning and the ride took an hour. It travelled along Swan River (I think) and we got to see the architecture alongside. Went to the Fremantle markets (which didn't sell things quite cheaply) and had lunch at Kaili's near the harbour. I loved the seafood!  After spending the afternoon there, we took a train back to Perth. Had a very light dinner at some bar before calling it a day.

Day 3: CAVERSHAM WILDLIFE PARK + THE PINNACLES + LANCELIN! Yay this day was fun! We got to see koalas, kangaroos and a wombat at the wildlife park. Yeah, didn't get to spend much time there as we needed to travel a great distance to the Pinnacles and Lancelin which were further up north. The Pinnacles was pretty with those limestone formations everywhere! I like, I like.  And Lancelin was awesome 'cause we were on a 4WD and got to sand board on sand dunes! I sand boarded twice, the first one was successful but the second failed. How stupid please, people usually fail the first time and not the second zz. Oh well, it was fun nonetheless. If only the day could be longer..  Had some 'picnic' lunch at a wildflower shop (it's not a typical picnic lunch and I don't bother describing how it was like 'cause it's too boring haha). Dinner back at Perth, Japanese cuisine.

Day 4: WILD ENCOUNTERS @ ROCKINGHAM (+ PENGUIN & SEAL ISLANDS)!  I LOVED THIS DAY THE MOST HAHA. We went Dolphin Watching first in some, boat. Haha wasn't paying much attention to what the guide said so I didn't catch quite a bit of info. We saw wild dolphins and people snorkeling with them! The boat ride was GREAT, it was exciting with strong winds and waves and more waves! Had ham with veggie rolls for lunch, spent some time at Penguin Island's beach and watched little penguins being fed! Then we moved on on another ferry to look at seals at the Seal Island, big fat lazy sealsssss. But they're amazing you know! They can do flips in the water. I was  (amazed). It was an enriching experience out there! I loved every bit of the day except the winds, I was so cold alright! When we got back to Perth, we went to Kings Park for a walk. Then we had dinner at the same western restaurant we went to on the first day. We ordered different food of course, and we actually went there to see the pretty waitresses HAHA.

 
(The seals look like shit. Don't they? Hehehe.)

Day 5: MANDURAH! Hahaha it was so funny 'cause we didn't know how to pronounce it, we called it Man-Doo-Rah. It was actually Mend-Drah. Haha who cares how we pronounced it at first, we learnt the right pronounciation anyway.  Yeah it was my idea to go there, 'cause it was our free day and we didn't really have any idea where to go. Hahah, we took a train down to Mandurah, it took almost an hour. Booked the HATS bus, it's a circuit bus which drove us around to the places we had intended to go. We went for breakfast at Miami Bakehouse which was heavily advertised in brochures and all. (Oh 'cause the hotel didn't provide us breakfast that morning.) Then we went on to the Abingdon Miniature Village to look at the little models of ancient architecture and there was a maze in there as well! Pretty interesting, just that it got a little boring after a while 'cause the exhibits were pretty limited. Headed to the Dolphin Quay for seafood lunch and took a train back to Perth in the evening. The seafood platter for one was such a huge serving that both of us were so full after sharing it, we were so full we couldn't stomach a proper meal for dinner. I had an apple strudel for dinner while my aunt had chocolate milkshake haha. We watched an open Christmas performance that night as well, it was really quite heartwarming. Oh there were three camels there as well, for show only.

Day 6: HOME! Haha had breakfast at the hotel, checked out, walked to Swan River 'cause we had nothing else to do, walked around the shops for one last time, had ice cream and headed for the airport. Landed around 9pm, that's all!

This trip was great, really. I missed home when I was there, but now I'm starting to miss Aussie.
