Mocha's Everyday Adventures: Perth

Bright and sunny day! Yeah! We had breakfast at the quaint dining room and planned our itinerary for the day. Obviously, the first stop is to Vasse Felix! The vineyard is really nice, but the gals in the Cellar Door were not too friendly with us. :( But their wines are just excellent! Wish I could have bought more back!

Breakfast taste better on nice tableware!

After that, we drove down to Hamelin Bay to see the sting rays! It was a loooooooong drive, because we took the "scenic drive", which is not that scenic actually. It took us almost 2 hours to reach Hamelin Bay! But it was worth it! The beach is just beautiful!

Hamelin Bay

This is where the sting rays come to feed...

We regretted not bringing along our swimming gear to Hamelin! But we still have to visit a few other places - so we left the bay after soaking in some of the sun, sand and sea....

We drove on to Augusta, towards the Leeuwin Lighthouse. It is situated where the 2 oceans meet - the Pacific and Indian Ocean. We were hungry after all the fresh sea breeze, and stopped at the 1st cafe that we see - Augusta Bakery. And look at what we feasted on!

Aussie Burger with the LOT!

Lasagne...yum!

After the satisfying lunch, we continued on to Cape Leeuwin where the lighthouse is. It was a breathtaking sight when we finally saw the lighthouse!

The Leeuwin Lighthouse

There is a guided tour to the top of the lighthouse, and we managed to catch the last tour at 3pm! The tour guide is a nice lady in her 50's! And she climbs up and down the lighthouse several times a day doing the tour! Her stamina is just amazing. When we reached the top, I was trying not to pant too hard...haha...cannot loose out to Aunty leh.

Can you see the two oceans crashing in the middle??

We wanted to do somemore wine tasting but it's already late afternoon. So we managed to squeeze in one more at the Leeuwin Estate. They are already closing for the day but allowed us to taste some wines.
