Project Perth Travelogue Day 6 Part 2
Before going to Busselton, Yang Hui and my wife decided to pay the pharmacy a visit, as my wife’s skin was getting very dry due to the humidity level.
While waiting for the ladies, I took a shot of the beautiful town of Margaret River.
Shortly after that, we continued our journey towards Busselton. The weather was great today.
We dropped by the Margaret River Cheese Factory along the way. There wasn’t anyone at the counter when we arrived, so we proceed to the Margaret River Chocolate Company.
Margaret River Chocolate Company sports 200 over varieties of chocolates and we were spoilt by choices. The packaging of the chocolates were attractive too and we brought some to share with family and friends.
Back to the road, I was suggesting to David that we backtracked our route a little because I would like to take some photos of the lambs I saw earlier before the Margaret River Chocolate Company.
Yang Hui suggested to go to Cape Lavender which was nearby. Fresh scent of lavender lingers in the air when we roam around the place.
After Cape Lavender, we hurried on to our journey to Busselton as it’s getting late and I was worried that we might not be able to check in to our lodging.
We reached our lodging Observatory Guest House around 1700hrs plus. We quickly moved our luggages out of the car and went into our rooms.
As I could see quite a number of locals were already wearing Bermudas, t-shirt and slippers, so I thought we were already moving toward late spring. So happily I changed into my normal attire that I usually wear in Singapore and walked towards the jetty.
The Busselton jetty was the longest jetty in the southern hemisphere which stretches 1.8km into the sea.
Walking along the jetty, I could felt the cool breeze tickling my tired feet as I was wearing slippers. There’s a lot of seagulls action here.
As I walked further and further out to the sea, the wind seems to be getting stronger and stronger! Woohoooo… Luckily I bought my jacket along, but my legs weren’t that lucky as I was wearing Bermudas and slippers. Nevertheless it was a very good experience, as naturally I like strong winds and cold weathers.
We reached the end of the jetty and walked back.
Locals fishing at the jetty.
The glass panels at the Interpretive Centre captured deeper contrast of the sky.
The sun was setting, and the sky turns into a dramatic pinkish purple.
We settled our dinner at McDonalds as most of the shops had closed already. Walking back to our lodging took 15 cold minutes.
Already very tired for the day, I was knocked out once again.
