I took a road trip to Margaret River with my friends last weekend. We rented a car, booked a villa by the beach, packed some food and took a 4 hr drive to Margaret River. Did a lot of stopping in between to sight see, eat and enjoy the scenery. Perth is a beautiful place. I'm just going to show a lot of pictures so enjoy them.

This was after 2 hrs of driving. We went to the Dolphin discovery centre but unfortunately, we didn't see any dolphins.



This was at the world's longest jetty. We took a walk down the jetty. Took us about half an hour just to walk to the end, and another half hr to walk back. The scenery was stunning.


















Then we drove down to the villa which Fatima booked and we got a mansion! It was so beautiful, with 5 room, a living room, a dining area, an outside jacuzzi, a kitchen..and the view from the master bedroom was just amazing. The beach was right in front of us so of course I went crazy with the photo taking.

The master bedroom, which Fatima, Anjuli and I got.

Then, after ooh-ing and ahh-ing at the cottage, we went down to the beach to take a dip in the water. The water was so clean and clear! And the scenery was so beautiful! I swam, and froze, and saw the sun set.



























We had dinner at a fancy restaurant on the first night. We had paella, and pizza, and chilli mussels and they had red and white wine while I had orange juice. It was freezing by the time we went for dinner cos the girls took forever to dress up.





On the 2nd day, we went to Surfers Point, a lookout point and a place where surfers went to do their thing. The waves were huge.












Then, for the rest of the day, we visited 2 wineries, an olive factory (I love olives esp bread dipped in olive oil. Yum.), a chocolate factory (Loved that too), a jam factory and a cheese factory. I tasted so many chocolates, and jam, and olive and bread that I actually felt sick.

The girls, by the winery. This was the oldest winery in Western Australia.












Fatima, imitating me. :)



We tried to jump simultaneously. Took us about 6 attempts before we perfected it.



We went clubbing in the evening to this reggae club where there was live music. Very nice. We met this black guy from Ghana, who tried to pick the 3 of us up. But we weren't interested. ;)







Then when we got back to the villa, I decided to try on Fatima's Club Monaco dress. It was so soft and comfy but a little big for me.



The same dress. I just pulled it up tp show more legs. And that was Fatima's nine west heels. To die for.



On our way back to Perth main city.

I had so much fun. I have never taken a road trip before so this was definitely a first for me. I ate and I laughed and I talked the night away with the girls and we listened to old hip hop and rnb music and Whitney Houston and Celine Dion, with Fatima and me singing out loud to Whitney and Celine, much to the chargrin of Anjuli (who hates Celine Dion) and putting on make up for each other, and trying on each other's clothes.

We are planning for another one of these trips later on in the year, and this time round, we intend to go further south, all the way to Albany.

Right now, it's back to the books. I've completed one assignment. Only.
