After that we went to fremantle little creatures a micro brewery famous for its brewed bright ale. After fremantle, we went out for a dinner at a Vietnamese cuisine. Ed paid for all of us.
Day 3- 16.2.15
we went to take our rent car with gps, to reduce unnecessary friction. We had bad experience without gps in US. So this time, I would rather pay slightly more to buy some harmony and peace along the trip. After getting our car, we drive to a sand dunes and pinnacles. Pinnacles is awesome and mind blowing, it is like a mini canyon. Both of us enjoyed the drive. After pinnacles, we drove to yanchep national park before we drove back to Perth city for dinner.
Dinner was a Belgium pub.
Day-4 17.2.15
We had a light breakfast in the car and drove to Taylor at swan valley for breakfast. Initially we wanted to catch the farm show at 10am. However, we decided to have a relaxing morning in swan valley and we decided to catch the later show around 1pm.
After our breakfast at Taylor's , we drove to some vine yard, cheese barrel, honey house.
We then drove to caversham wildlife around 1230 hrs. Walk around the zoo, and had fun with some of the lamb, sheep and goat in the zoo. The farm show was interesting. I think is worth visiting.
After the farm show, we wonder around swan valley and decided to do some grocery shopping for my parents. After our grocery we then went back home for a rest while waiting for caren coming back from work. She brought us to an Italian dinner and bought us a meal. We were rather tipsy and we chatted at her place till midnight.
Day 5- 18.2.2015
We were checking out from caren's place. We did some housekeeping and laundry before we drove to Hillarys for early brunch. The Quay is beautiful and we had a great fish and chips in one of the restaraunts there. We also had a chance to see all the beautiful houses in Hillarys. Caren was booking a place for us for chinese new year dinner with my parents.
Before 1pm, we quickly drove down the perth city to fetch my parents from the airport. I was over the moon when I saw them coming out from the terminal. I hugged them tightly the moment I met them.
I also met some other kk friends in the airport. Kong hui yee is one of them.
After fetching my parents, I brought them to do some light shopping then drove them up north to Scarborough beach. We had a drink at dome which is behind the hotel and had a quick stroll along the beach while catching up.
We quickly drove around the area checking some beautiful homes and drove back to Perth city to check in to Mont Claire apartment. After checking in around 7pm. We then drove to our dinner place with caren and Amos.
The setting of the dinner is very crowded, it is a malaysian chinese cuisine with a lot of malaysian in it. My dad met his friend in the restaurant too. We had a great time.
Day 6
We drove down south to margaret river and had a quick late lunch at Morries. The meal was descent. After our lunch, we then drove all the way down to leeuwin lighthouse. We took the tour and went up the light house. It was a long walk up. The tour was so so, but the sceneries up there was amazing and not to forget the strong wind from the southern ocean. The light house is located between southern ocean and Indian ocean. Very similar to Cape Town.
After the strong wind and the beautiful sceneries. We drove back to margaret river resort and checked in. We then went back to the town and bought some groceries for dinner. We cooked at home.
Day 7-20.2.2015
After our breakfast, we drove to the nearest beach and look at the surfers on the beach showing off. The waves were rather strong and had a few tiers which was unique. After watching them we then drove to lakes cave. We overshot lakes cave and reached the tall trees area which we find very interesting. We stopped by and took some pictures of it. We then drive back to lakes cave which is about 60m below the road level. The cave tour is enjoyable and very informative.
After that, we went to vineyard, noughat factory and chocolate factory. Then drive north to busselton jetty, which is 1840m long. The jetty is that long because they wanted to be able to accommodate bigger ship that time. We had fish and chips there which was the best fish and chips I have ever had. After our light meal, we drove down the perth and checked in to verandah apartment. A fairly new apartment in northbridge which is very near to fringe world festival. After checking in, we walked to the festival for a quick meal and then went back our apartment to rest.
Day 8- 21.2.2015
We had breakfast with caren in the morning, The breakfast was great, and as usual I always overeat when I am with my parents. They always give me half their portion.
After our breakfast, Caren dropped us at the jetty and we boarded on the yatch on 11 30 hrs. During the ride, there was a training conducted by the Australian navy which tried to board our yacht while we were crusing. They were practising for a few times while my dad and I were taking pictures of them.
When we reach fremantle, we walked to the cappuccino strip and had our lunch at kailis'. The fish and chips were so so. We then wonder around fremantle like a tourist bought some souvenirs. After that, we had our early dinner at an Italian restaurant at cappuccino strip. The pizza was awesome and it was less than $50 for 4. After our scrumptious meal we then walked a little while around Fremantle and headed to the train station. We boarded the train and headed back to City West. Upon reaching city West, we walked back to our apartment, took a rest and drove to kings park. We then drove to crown hotel for the casino. The casino is crowded with people and a lot of Australian chicks.
After our casino trip, we went back to our apartment and jenny made us supper. We were all hungry.. After our supper we retired to our own room.
Day 9- 22.2.15
We had breakfast together with caren and amos at dragon palace. After our breakfast, we went to our final shopping.We then drove my parents to the airport and bid farewell to them. After sending them back, we drove to kings park and we had picnic there. The view is stunning and the weather is just nice.
After our picnic, we drove back to the airport, returned our car and took our flight back to Singapore around 7pm. We reached Singapore around 0010hrs.
This is my family trip for 2015. It was truly an amazing trip with my family and I am looking forward for more in the future.
