Perth Family Adventures - Part 5 09/28/2011
0 Comments
 
Day 7 - We pulled aside the curtains to get a great view of the golf course in front of us. It was so different from the dark and wet weather the night before. We could see 2 kangaroos playing a distance away. Had our breakfast and off we go to visit the attractions around Swan Valley.

Visited the Margaret River chocolate factory (a branch in Swan Valley) and the Mondo Nougat factory, and bought some chocolates and nougats of course.

Next, we drove down to Guildford town, very near to Perth city. It's an town with many old colonial buildings, many well-preserved. Took the shortest trail and once again enjoyed our walk in the cool weather...

Did not find any good eating places in Guildford and we decided to head straight to Perth for our lunch. Went to Harbour Town, a place where factory outlets are. My second time here and like the first time, there didn't seem anything interesting to purchase. Prices obviously have increased...

Late afternoon, we checked into Aaron's Perth hotel for our last night in Perth. It was a tough job manoeuvring the 8-seater vehicle though the back alley of this hotel. It suffered some scratches and a slight dent. Thank God Bernard made the right decision in getting total insurance coverage! Anyway we couldn't park overnight at the hotel either. There were limited lots in the hotel basement and we did not make a pre-booking. 

After placing our luggage in our rooms, we headed off to Westfield Carousel, a major shopping centre. Coincidentally, it was Thursday- a day of late-night shopping. It was rather crowded with local youths and families as well. It was a little early for dinner so we walked around a little before having dinner at their 'food court'. Continued our shopping or window-shopping after dinner before heading back to hotel. Time to pack all our shopping into luggage as we will be heading back to Singapore tomorrow.

Day 8 - Days on holiday usually passes by so quickly. Woke up for our breakfast at the Miss Maud cafe across the street. Packed all our last minute stuff and checked out. Decided to have sufficient time to make the trip to the airport. A good thing as there were some route changes which was not reflected on our Garmin GPS. Returned the car and did our check-in before lunch after the customs. 

Goodbye Perth. Till next time! =)
