margaret river day 2

second morning at MR. first things first... pump petrol!

need to clean away the 'road kills'.

first stop today... cape leeuwin lighthouse. it's near Augusta which is even further down south than MR.. about a 2 hour drive?

commemorative coin.

tourist pose #1.

tourist pose #2.

our tour was for the 11.40am one.. so we waited outside.

time to climb 8 storeys...

we took 2 breaks while climbing to the top. the stairway was quite tight and it's really not as easy as it looks. when we're finally up there...

mechanism that controls the light.

gigantic lens.

the view was lovely once you step outside...

the part where you see waves crashing together in the middle of the ocean is

apparently where the indian ocean and southern ocean meets.

trying for a shot with 2 oceans.

a very well-taken group shot by me. (:

going down wasn't tiring.. but it was scary la. no breaks this time.

eijean and i held up the line quite abit because we were so slow. haha!

time for breakfasssst!

scones and tea.

as we were heading off, we passed a spot which overlooked the sea quite prettily. so we stopped for a picture. the boys were inspired to try this...

on our way to visit mammoth's cave now. there were nice trees along the way.. and i mean really nice looking trees. so we stopped again for a photo.

after a long ride later.. we've reached mammoth's cave!

our tourguide.

doh and jean.

ok.. let's start.

jerry's smart idea to flash for pow to take this shot. (:

i took like a million pictures in the cave because i loved it so much. suddenly i can recall everything my geography teacher taught about erosion and weathering. the stalagmites and stalactites... so cool! the cave was enormous by the way and super chilly.

and out we come...

we decided to take a longer route to the exit by taking some trail walk..

after about 15 minutes and some regret.. we made it to the main entrance. back to the city now...

stopped by simmo's for ice cream.

the boys' favourite...

breweries aren't like wineries. they don't have free tasting.. so the guys bought a sample tray of all their beers.

i thought it looked cute.

obviously i didn't drink any and neither did jean.

saw this funny sign in the window of some shop.

dinner for the night.

our super delicious pumpkin soup!

our chalet has jacuzzi.. so since we came back early and it was our last night, we all decided to have a go just to relax ourselves. HAHA! the bath was filled 5 times ok!

accomplishment of the boys in just 2 nights.

tomorrow's itinerary is quite simple.. estimate to reach perth city in the evening for dinner. why time fly so fast when you're having fun?!
