Magnificent Twelve Apostles at the Great Ocean Road

Magnificent Twelve Apostles at the Great Ocean Road

Right after breakfast, we checked out from the Best Western Great Ocean Road Motor Inn and started our journey towards the Port Campbell National Park. Driving along the Great Ocean Road during day time never ceased to amaze me. The ocean was sparkling blue, while the limestone rock stacks on the co

Thank God for Best Western Great Ocean Road Motor Inn

Thank God for Best Western Great Ocean Road Motor Inn

Since we've decided not to stay at Cape Otway, we had to continue driving to reach the next nearest town, which was Port Campbell. At this point of time, it was already getting dark, past 5.30pm. And the route from Cape Otway to Port Campbell was another 90km, with a large part of it through the rai

I must admit, this post is long overdue but I was really just saving the best for last! *LOL* Remember we rented a car from Hertz to Lake Mulwala before? We used the same car to drive towards the Great Oce

3-day Getaway to Penang!

3-day Getaway to Penang!

Taking a break from KL food, I have some pictures of Penang food that were taken about a month ago when Saucer and I were there for about 3 days. We stayed at the Gurney Hotel, located strategically at the Gurney drive itself, facing the sea. The room was huge in size, and even though the hotel is a

The Failed Attempt

The Failed Attempt

Remember my visits to the 2 wineries before this? After going to All Saints Estate and Campbells Winery, we thought of going to a beer brewery for a change. From the flyers, we saw one which was only 10km away, called Vintara Winery & Brewery. So, excitedly we drove towards Vintara and saw this

The Making of Wines!

Continuing from my previous venture to All Saints Estate winery, we moved on to another winery called Campbells. This was highly recommended by a local in Rutherglen Wine Region when we asked him where to get sweet red wines. Setting the destination in my Google Maps, we drove to Campbells Winery an

During our Australia trip, we had the chance to go for cheese and wine tasting in the Rutherglen Estate, nearby Lake Mulwala. We haven't done any of these before, so we were really excited and hyped! Before our journey, we had a simple breakfast of rye bread wrap with ham, cheese and baby spinach. I

After a day with the monkeys at Bukit Melawati, it was time for us to return to the Firefly Park Resort. Since it was a long weekend, we decided to put a night at the small resort.

A Day with the Monkeys at Bukit Melawati

A few days ago, Saucer and I brought his mom together for a short trip to Kuala Selangor. Our main intention was to visit the Firefly Park to witness the glowing species at night before they go extinct. Since we were there early, we had some time to kill before night, and so we explored around the K
