8th June 2005

Bunbury/Busselton

Could not bring m&m to see the farm animals becos they could not wake up. By the time they woke up and got ready, we have to check out already. Anyway, they enjoyed seeing the animals and they were really surprised to see a really big and fat pig on the farm, so unlike the three little pigs they read about in their story books.

Drove to Bunbury. Went to the shopping centre to have lunch first. After that, we went to Koombana Dolphin Centre. However, there was no dolphin to be seen that day and the staff was not exactly helpful. So we left the place.

picture taken at the dolphin centre, marcus wanted to buy something which i refuse, that's why his sad and grumpy face



Brought m&m to the Rocky Point. It is a beach where there are lots of basalt rocks. Black in color and when the waves hit the rocks, it juz makes this loud noise and splashes up against the rocks. Lovely sight.





then they started drawing in the sand


an angry face


a car


then they chased the seagulls



M&m wanted to build sandcastle. Let them played. Marcus surprised me, when he realized he could not build sandcastle (cos I think the sand is too hard or something like that, plus he doesn’t have the tools) he started drawing in the sand. I am surprised by his imagination. So he has this big piece of drawing paper and he started to move from place to place to draw. Tracks, his name, flowers, faces.

After that, we drove down to Busselton. When we left Bunbury, we noticed that many of the signboards were broken, most probably damaged by the strong winds. And also the Lookout Point of Bunbury was under construction.

As we were reaching Busselton, it started to rain heavily. Very very heavy, the winds were blowing so strongly that we could not drive too fast, becos the wind was like literally knocking us sideways. So we had to drive slowly. Luckily I was not the one driving, otherwise I could have freaked out. This is the 1st time I experienced such strong gust of wind.

Reached the tourist bureau and gotten some brochures. Never make any reservations, we will juz drive around (blindly) searching for an accommodation we like. Anyway, i have wanted to find this Gale street, becos there are about 2 places we could check it out. The 1st one, there was nobody to answer. The 2nd one says Gale Street Motels and Villas… while the name motel certainly does not fit this place. It was actually a really nice place. We have this 2 bedroom, chalet kind of place and there is this big place for m&m to play. I think they love the place.



For the rest of the day, we stayed in the room, bought some food to cook, Mr Tan is the chef tonite and I do the laundry (since there is a washing machine, I wasted no time to wash some clothings) m&m slept in one room, we intend to sleep in the other room, but later in the night, mabel wanted me to be in the room with her, so we shared one single bed and i accompanied her. (bones aching)
