Margaret River - Surfers Point Prevelly - Mammoth Cave - Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse - Canal Rocks (Day 2) - Western Australia

-
We kicked off the day at 10am, checked out from Ramada Resort Dunsborough and had our brunch at McDonalds, 15 minutes drive from the resort. I love to order their happy meal because not only it comes with a toy but I get to choose either small fries or fruit bag and drink. My partner on the other hand ordered bacon & egg McMuffin value meal with iced chocolate and hash brown. You can never go wrong with McD and we had a great brunch :)

We reached Margaret River 40 minutes later and coincidentally we parked our car nearby an ice cream shop. Who doesn't like ice cream and I decided to give it a try. Millers ice cream is handmade and the milk that they use comes straight from their own cows. The staff was very friendly and let us sample several flavours of their ice cream. My partner doesn't really enjoyed it because he finds it too sweet for his liking. There's 4 types of size available:

a) Mini moo (kids / small) - $ 4
b) Single scoop (adult) - $ 5.50
c) Double scoop - $ 7
d) Triple scoop - $ 8

Our next stop was Surfers Point Prevelly, 9 minutes drive from Millers Ice Cream. Beautiful beach and Surfers Point is a popular spot for surfers. We wanted to stay longer but the sudden heavy rainfall caused us to run for cover and we ran like mad to the car park!

There's 4 magnificent caves to explore in Margaret River region - Ngilgi cave, Mammoth cave, Lake cave and Jewel cave.

We have no idea what to have for lunch and randomly walked into this shop. Leeuwin Diner is located in Augusta, approximately 30 minutes drive from Mammoth Cave. I ordered fish and chips (kids meal) while my partner ordered burger. It was good. Fries were crispy, fish were fresh and burger was juicy. All burgers include onion, lettuce carrot and tomato. Augusta is a small and quiet town. Local attractions include Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse, just 12 minutes drive from Leeuwin Diner.

Our final stop of the day was Canal Rocks approximately 1 hour 15 minutes from Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse. Spectacular coastal view and unique formation of granite gneiss rocks which has been weathered over time by the crashing waves to form a canal shape. There's a timber broadwalk which takes you out onto the rocks.

On the way back to Baldivis, we dropped by KFC for dinner. I like the fact that we get to choose either fries or shaker salad when we ordered their meal. Chicken was tender and juicy. Perfect combination with my favourite Solo drink.



Fillet burger meal comes with one piece of hot and spicy chicken, one regular chips, one potato & gravy and drink - $ 11.95

Guangzhou/Shenzhen - Day 4/Day 1 (Luohu Commercial City - Dongmen Pedestrian Street - Sun Plaza)

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...
