Western Australia - Back to Perth

It was a gruesome 5 hours drive back to Perth City. I was very sad that my holiday was ending and I had to leave this amazing apartment at the harbor side. We had our breakfast at one of the café at York Street. I enjoyed the big portion of scrambled eggs, bacon and toast, while Alfred was happily tucking into his pancakes. It was a lovely day with beautiful weather. I love having my breakfast like that.

We arrived at Perth at 4.30pm and we drove straight to Fremantle for early dinner. There were many cafes at Fremantle and the famous weekend market was however only opened on Sunday. This was my 3rd time at Fremantle and I'm here again for the 2nd time to try out Western Australia #1 fish and chips at Cicerellos. Prices were reasonable and you'll get decent seafood platter at only AUD21 dollars. Well, I still love their fish and chips. My hubby likes it as well.

Seafood Platter, well battered fish and chips at only AUD21

Grilled fish taste great as well

The interior of the restaurant never changed since my last visit in 2005. I've heard that they had changed several owners but still the battered fish tasted great as ever.

You can sit outside if you do not mind the seagulls staring at you

After the dinner, we took a walk along the harbor to catch the amazing sunset view. My holiday had indeed ended fast. I was sad to leave but well, time to work hard and look forward to my next destination.

Mauritius, An Island of Emotion

Mauritius, is an island nation in the Indian Ocean off the southeast coast of the African continent. Together with my Diva friend, we travelled to Mauritius in 2014 for our first ever girls trip or what we called as our "Elephant & Hippo Honeymoon". Although Mauritius is an island, the entire island is at least twice bigger than Singapore. Flights to Mauritius are somewhat limited. The airlines that flew to Mauritius include Air Mauritius, Emirates, British Airway and Air France. From Singapore, it took about 10 hours to reach Mauritius, including an hour transit at KL. Despite the long haul flight, I would say Mauritius is worth the visit at least once in your lifetime. I'm glad to have traveled with my Diva friend to this exotic place.

Enchanting Tasmania @ Alice Cottage Launceston

I was extremely delighted to chance upon this lovely Welsh cottage located in Launceston and I knew that I've got to book this cottage for a night. Nestled away on a quiet Launceston Street are the heritage cottages, each uniquely and tastefully themed with just a right touch of nostalgic old-world charm. There are various cottages to choose from - The English, Irish, Welsh and Scottish. As suggested by the names, each cottage has its charm and amenities. It was hard to locate the cottage at first and the GPS kept leading us in the same street for a few rounds until we spotted a little sign board "Alice Cottage" at a corner drive though lane. The drive though entrance was quite narrow but with the excellent driving skill of my husband, we managed to maneuver our vehicle in and thereafter, slowing driving through a small beautiful rose garden. The roses were in full bloom and the air was thick with the sweet scent of the roses. We've finally arrived at our Welsh Cot...

Day 6: Grindelwald and Jungfraujoch Top of Europe

We woke up to a pleasant day with perfect weather. It was no longer rainy and instead rays of sunshine brightened up the entire town of Grindelwald. The view was perfect right from the moment I opened my room's window. Before I continue with my blog on our journey for the day, let me introduce you to our cosy accommodation in Grindelwald, Hotel Lauberhorn, located within a short distance from the main train station. If you are too lazy to walk, fret not because there are buses available from the train station to reach the hotel. What I really like about this hotel is the bright and cheery exterior, well decorated outdoor garden and lounge, lift in the hotel to reach your rooms (this was indeed a surprise) and lastly very nice view of the mountain coupled with yummy croissants for breakfast. We had a corner room to ourselves without any balcony because the hotel was fully booked during our visit. The room was sparkly clean with modern bathroom facilities and even a heater....
