Caversham Wildlife Park - Perth, Western Australia

-
It was a cold Monday morning and we were on our way to the Caversham Wildlife Park. We were looking for a place to have our breakfast and we saw this Springs Kebabs Turkish Bakery which was 5 minutes away from the park. Since most of the shops have yet to open, we decided to give it a try. The shop was empty when we stepped in. We ordered a steak burger and chicken kebab combo which came with a chips and any 600ml drink in the fridge. The chips were good and same goes to the lemon lime drink. The food was ok but the burger bread was a bit hard and the kebab was a bit tough.

It was almost 3pm when we have completed the whole park. There's a convenience store inside the park and we bought some sandwiches, ice cream and chocolate shake for our tea break.

We had planned to check out of the hotel at 12pm and board a train to Dongguan at 1pm to meet with one of Ben's potential supplier. However, the plan was cancelled as the supplier was unable to make it and Ben only notified us after we checked out of the hotel at 12pm. In the end, we did nothing for a half day in Guangzhou and missed the opportunity to see his supplier in Dongguan. Our initial plan was to meet with his supplier in Dongguan and then take the train to Shenzhen. Since the plan didn't work out, we purchased a last-minute ticket from  Guangzhou East Railway Station to Shenzhen Station (Price - RM 65.74 per person for first-class seat). We had our lunch together with Ben at  Chuangshan Restaurant, which is located opposite  Guangzhou East Railway Station . I had goose with roasted pork, while my partner had chicken with BBQ pork. Roasted pork is tasty and goose is flavourful but has rubbery skin. Ben's friend joined us for lunch as well. However, we have to lea...
