The very first post after came back from Perth trip. Again, time flies. I came back since 2 weeks ago. Although it's only 5 days trip, it was a memorable one. It's the most relaxing trip that I had. You can feel the tranquility and peace. It's a very clean and quiet town. You just don't need to rush for everything and do it at your own pace.
@ Swan Bell
We took about 5 hours to reach Perth. We could feel the coldness once we stepped out from the airport. The weather was just nice. It's about 16'C. We checked in hotel and had a rest before going for dinner. We stayed at the same hotel for 4 nights at Perth. Before going to Perth, I was thinking of eating the big portion of Western food at Perth. At the end, we did not have Western food for every meal. My family preferred to have something that just suit us. There's a lot of Korean and Japanese restaurant in the city. I guessed there's are just too much of foreigners came over here. Else, it won't have so much of Korean and Japanese restaurant. The cost of living there is quite high there as well. We use RM 3.14 just to exchange for 1 AUD. Could you imagine how much we spent for a meal? The average price for a meal is AUD 15. It sounds not that expensive, right? Yet, when you are thinking about convert it to MYR, you will know how expensive is it.
@King's Park
We started our journey on 2nd day. It was a relaxing journey. In the morning, the bus took us for a city tour. We were given the opportunity to feel and explore the beauty of the city. The building over there are all well designed and in good appearance. We grabbed the chance to take as many photos as possible. We went to King's Park. It is one of the largest park in the city. How I wish we could have a large park in our city for us to do exercise or whatever as well. Then, we headed to Fremantle city. We paid a visit to Fremantle market which was very crowded. In Fremantle market, we were able to grab some souvenirs as well as trying the food. You may also see some artists doing performance on the street. They could just make a living by doing performance on the street. Also, we went to E-shed market which is just near the jetty. You could get the cheapest souvenirs there! Yet, the's not much choice of food. We did a good decision to have our lunch at Fremantle market. In our itenary, we will be taking cruise to go back to Perth city. Since there's still plenty of time, we went to Round House. You could view the beautiful seascape from there. In the afternoon, we boarded Captain Cook Cruise to back to Perth city, It's about 1 hour and 15 minutes journey. It's a good way to experience the beauty of Swan River. Sometimes, you could see some people are doing adventurous activities. Perth is indeed a great place to stay because you would have work-life balance there. Almost all the shops are closed by 6pm except some restaurants.

Sand boarding @ Sand Dune
What about the 3rd day of the trip? We traveled to the northern part of Perth. Finally, I met up with the cute kangaroo and koala bear. Sometimes, I just wonder why we could only see them in Australia? Could they move to our home country? XD We had the chance to take a very nice photo with them. Then, we headed to Pinnacles. It's indeed a long journey. It took about 3 hours plus to reach there. You would most likely to be amazed by the awesome view of Pinnacle. Yet, I like "Ye Liu" in Taiwan more! In your mind, your might not think of seeing desert at that area because it's actually surrounded by grassland. After leaving Pinnacle, we went to sand dune for sand boarding. There are 2 great things I found during my journey of the day, i.e. pure white sand & pure gold sand. The sand where we did sand boarding is in white color. At first, I thought I would not able to make it to do sand boarding. I tried it out and it's a successful one. Yet, you started to feel tired when you repeatedly went up to the top of sand dune. Anyway, it's worth to do so because you would truly enjoy the sand boarding session. Also, we had the opportunity to experience 4WD adventure on the sand dune. Anyway, it's not that amazed. Perhaps we were looking at something even exciting.

@Busselton Jetty
The most tiring journey goes to 4th day. The tour guide aka driver said we would be traveling for 720 km in that day itself. We went far from Perth, heading to Margaret River. We had been to quite a lot of tourist attraction on that day. The first destination is Busselton Jetty. It is a very beautiful jetty. It is so famous because it owns the second longest wooden bridge in the world! Due to time limitation, I ran on the wooden bridge. I knew that I wouldn't have enough time to walk until the end of the bridge. It's 1.7km long. It's very windy. Anyway, I never regret of running on the bridge. I would another reason to come again because I did not manage to walk till the end of the bridge. Hopefully there's a chance for me to visit here again! Margaret River is well known for its wine. Yes, we tried it. How's the taste? Well, I am not good in giving comment on the wine. Then, we went to Mammoth Cave. It's nothing special for me as we had been to many awesome cave in China. The mammoth cave that we visited is not that large. It only takes about 20 minutes to explore it. Next destination would be Light House. Again, it's very windy. The very first time of feeling that I will be blown away by the wind. We quickly take some photos and ran back to bus. The view is beautiful but we couldn't sustain in the strong wind. The last destination is Margaret River street. It's raining and most of us just stayed inside bus and did not go there for even a quick window shopping.

I hope I would have spent valuable time in Perth city in the last day! It's free and easy. Again, we didn't have to rush for our breakfast. We walked around the shop lots nearby. We could see the working adult walking on their way to office. At least, we could feel the life over there. I didn't feel like wanna going back. Perth is a good and peaceful place to live! Not to forget to take CAT free shuttle bus there. Yes, it's free. You can just jump into the bus and be seated to enjoy the view of the city. Perth is a technological advanced city. You could see the self check-out machine in supermarket and automated machine for you to order your meal in fast food restaurant. At 1pm, we left Perth city and headed to Perth International airport. We took AirAsia X at 440pm and reached homeland at 1010pm.
