Australia: Part Two

We took a little drive to Swan Valley... the food there is wonderful, but mostly I wanted to show the hubs the vineyards while there were grapes on there. He's only ever visited during the winter months, so everything looked so dead and grey. 

My family is incapable of taking pictures without making faces. You'll see. Also, the hubs looks to be questioning his decision to be part of my family.

Holy ham hock, Batman!

We visited a vineyard after to walk around and have some coffee and desserts. And hopscotch.

The chocolate factory is seriously ridiculous. Whenever I walk in, I want to grab everything and go nuts. Some of the yummiest chocolate I've ever had.

And their hot chocolate will make you forget your own name momentarily. It's so simple... their chocolate + hot milk. Stir, and try not to spill too much of it.
We checked out a little restaurant in Nedlands with beautiful food and even more beautiful views. I missed seeing all those boats bobbing around, and jellyfish in the water. Silly little jellyfish. 

We ate so much and often while we were there... I'm so not used to eating out that much, so by the first week, I'd kind of hit my limit hehe But the food is amazing... both the old favourites and the new places my sisters have found since I left years ago.

More pictures to come!

Australia: Part One

Oh Australia, how I'd missed you. I hadn't been back since I left in 2007 and I almost forgot just how beautiful is it. The people, the food, the sky... oh the sky... the sky is amazing and wonderful. Most of all, I missed my family. My cousins had kids while I was gone and I finally got to meet them. I have to admit that it made me quite clucky. The hubs is thrilled at this, of course hehe 

One of our favourite places for seafood is Cicerello's in Fremantle, and a bunch of us met up to share some food and catch up.

SO. GOOD.

This is Dylan, my cousin's little boy. He's insanely adorable and giggles at EVERYTHING. I want to steal him and his mum seems to be quite okay with it hehe

My dad and Dylan are firm friends... they walk hand in hand all the time :) Made me even more clucky!

That sky. Seriously, best sky ever. And not just because I'm biased :)

There's many more pictures to come. You have been warned.
