Hello, I'm back from me holiday and I'm 12 years old. Twelve... last year of being a year old and last year of primary school. Man I feel really old now.
Well we went for a little camping trip as i told you all in me last post. We went down south to "Eaton" which is a scout campsite just near Bunbry. It wasn't very good because it was small. It was VERY VERY VERY close to the neighbour-hood too, so we didn't camp there.
What we did was, we went to Busselton and looked for some campsites. We thought we would look around for a little, visit a couple of campsites because we only wanted to stay at the campsite for 2 nights. We would be out the whole day anyway.
So we ended up at a place called Amblin Caravan and Camping Site. It was very big, i wasn't the only kid that missed school on that Friday. As soon as we got there we pitched our tent, set up the camp kitchen set up the tent. We also had a new toy to play with, we had a camp stretcher. Usually we'd all sleep on a camp mattress. It was very big, but it was easy to unpack. The stretcher was meant for dad, but on the second night i slept on it.
After we had set up our whole campsite and dominated it! We had lunch and went out to Dunsborough. We looked around the town to see if there were any good places to eat dinner the next night. Dad saw an ad for a place called "Sweet Lips" but we couldn't find it. After a while we went back to the campsite.
I cooked dinner that night and it was awesome! We had "Bangers n' Mash" (with salad -sigh-). It was sooo yummy that it made me feel really fat and useless after it. So we crawled into bed and slept.
The next day, we woke up and it was really cold...very very cold. I thought it would be somewhat warmer because it's now spring. But nup it was cold. That morning we had Bacon and Eggs, yumm! Dad recommended me to have a shower because it warmed you up, and he was right. So after my scrumcious breaky i went and had a shower.
Shortly after my warm shower, we were off. First we went to these markets and mum bought all these presents for her family in Malaysia when we go back next year. We were then off to Meelup beach. That's where we climbed rocks! I managed to lead dad to one of the highest rocks we could see! I stood up there and did a victory pose :P. Then dad drove us around a million dollar neighbour-hood, where we drewlled at all the houses because they were so awesome.
After about 30 mins of being in a jungle of rich houses, we found our way to the main road where mum lead us to "Bootleg Brewery". It was packed! There was a live band playing and there was some sort of Hen's and Buck's party being held there. There, we had lunch which was yummy fish and chips and a Tandoori Chicken Sandwhich. We finished it like that! Mum and dad had a couple of drinks and then we were off yet again.
They dragged me along for their wine tastings...i tell you it was sooo boring. Listening to adults talk about the origin and history of the company. So we finally went home, to the tent.
When we got back i went into the pool. It was so warm, it was awesome. I did some dives and laps. I had my shower and then went back to the campsite. Then we left for Dunsborough. At Dunsborough, we bumped into someone I wouldn't have expected to see. Chelsi Clariadge and her dad getting dinner.
I was so shocked and later on i found out they had the same food as us just different times, I was saying to my dad i think she's stalking us or something. It was such a big coincidence. After we got our dinner (take aways), we drove to a car park at the foreshore and sat in the car to eat. It was yum. We went home and again went straight to bed this time like i said I slept in the stretcher. It wasn't as comfy as the mattress but it was ok.
Today was the day we came home, so I'm going to write it in present tense. Well we woke up and i raced straight to the shower! I was so cold again. The shower woke me up and it warmed me up. We had french toast for breakfast and then we started packing up. It took us about 1 hour with 3 pairs of hands, but we got there. As soon as we packed up we checked out and we drove down to Margret River, where mum and dad did more wine tastings.
A couple of wineries later, we came to this brewery called Cowaramup Brewery. We were their first customers for the day. It had a million dollar view! It was awesome, mum and dad had a tester rack. Then we decided we would come back later to have lunch there. Dad wanted to go visit a few more wineries before we came back to have lunch. We had fish and chips and a stew pie. (i kept to the fish n' chips..)
So after lunch we were off, for home, real home. It was a 2 hour and a half drive home, i was so bored that i slept. When we finally got home Susie was jumping for joy. We washed the car wich was covered in dirt, bird poo (and not just bird poo but other poo) and insects. We finally got it clean, that evening i was soo exhausted.
