#112 - Perth (Part One)

Assalamualaikum.

I shall start my Australia travelogue while everything is still very fresh. I would try to share everything though I can't promise anything as time can be very limited as I can only blog from office.

So, here goes. 

Day 1: KLIA, Perth & Geraldton

Our flight was on 11th October 2013 at 9.30 a.m. so we left home at around 6.15 a.m. Due to some technical issues, we didn't take any breakfast. By the time we were about to board, I was starving. Oh, we were flying with Malaysia Airlines.

The flight took off slightly later than scheduled as there were heavy traffic that morning. Inas was a bit cranky as she wanted to roam around but we couldn't let her. Alhamdulillah, right before take off, she fell asleep. The journey was alright. No screaming kids despite having 3 babies on board. Phew. Didn't get to finish any movie though.

We landed half and hour earlier than our ETA which was quite surprising. Not that I'm complaining. The process at the immigration was quite smooth. We were quite lucky because my MIL was on a wheelchair (she can walk but can be very tricky if it's long walk) so we managed to cut queue. Masa nak declare items, instead opening our bags, the officer asked to stand in line then ada lintas hormat anjing diaorang. So, our budu, kuah kacang, instant noodles semua selamat. 

After all the immigration process, settling on car rental, we went to Victoria Park for our early dinner. We went to Makan-Makan Restaurant which according to En. Suami the quality of the food has dropped. 

Bought some snacks and off to Geraldton. Geraldton is about 4 to 5 hours drive from Perth. The journey to Geraldton was quite smooth and managed to reach there before midnight. 

Day 2: Port Gregory & Kalbarri

The initial itinerary was to roam around Geraldton and then to Kalbarri National Park. But, after more readings and research, we decided to go to Port Gregory to see this:

The Pink Lake

The Pink Lake formed because of alga (please wiki for more information) and was informed that it is not always pink so it totally based on your luck. Upon seeing the pink colour lake, we were screaming excitedly in the car and immediately stopped by the road side for some photo opportunity. 

Then, we continued our journey to Kalbarri National Park. 

Above picture is one of the attractions. We didn't stop at every single attractions though because at times they looked similar. We had our simple lunch at the seafront and continued to the last attraction of the day.

Please, please google the image of Nature's Window as the view was breathtaking. Despite the rocky road, the journey was worth it. We had a wonderful time taking photos. I mean, with an amazing view like that, who won't?

Till my next entry...
