West Australia Calling (Perth) - 6 Days whole trip journey

#westozcalling

I decided to do a short trip before Ramadan (because I’m saving my leave for a major trip *hopefully jadi*). Every year I will do my pre or post Ramadan trip! And as usual for pre/post Ramadan trip, it always a drama & challenging trip (e.g. Chiang Mai, Siem Reap), haha but very worth experience & rewarding :’)

• Walk to another car rental place 1 km away & I could not find it!
• Walk back 1 km “again” to another car rental place, Hertz, my last resort bcoz very expensive, but since the only place that still open on Sunday; car rental per 24 hours 100 AUD + gps for 15 AUD, surprisingly it’s a Swift =D
• Wait for Rahman until it’s 3 pm, I give up ;(

• By the time I reach Pinnacles, It was already dark, with only using my car’s spotlight, the place looks like a graveyard at night T_T

Phew~! That was a marathon isn’t it? But what a journey & experience!

A bit challenging when meet up with friends, because me (especially) & friends only rely on wi-fi, so If anybody want to plan something, please inform me the percise timing, sebab jasad aku ni ade 1 jer, jangan lah berkecik hati kalau tak jadi according to plan T_T, and of course I always make time for everyoneee~ I repeat everyoneee :D

Bersama Puan Diana, my CS host & friends :D

My favourite was when I was in Rottnest Island, eventhough it was expensive for the ferry & the bicycle, but totally worth it! A very relaxing & fun solo bicycle ride, I’m glad I did that, eventhough at first I was reluctant to spend for the expensive ferry ride ‘:D

kenderaan-kenderaan aku yg gerek, of course my kaki kenderaan yg paling penting! haha!

This time, I really simply splurge on good cake & pastries, because I regret not doing so when I was in Sydney. I fulfilled my sugar craving in Perth, tehehe~! & I did a loOots of Coles shopping too, hew hew.

balik trip lagi gemok adalah walaupun dah berjalan kaki & berbasikal berkilo-kilo T_T

Selalu tak sempat nak upload beli apa time travel sampai external drive aku dah jahanam hilang semua gambar.
Ok Nahh all mineee~! *including the cat, hehe

The next time I go, I wanted to do a longer roadtrip drive, the desert & Indian Ocean

view was ahmazing~!
