Bali

Bali was awesome! Spa, beach, food, cocktail. Love it!

Geography 101 - Limestone formation

Revisited the Pinnacles today. The day tour left at 7:45am and came back to the city at 8:30pm. My last trip to the Pinnacles was 14 yrs ago on my Geography school trip. (I recall Mr Gomez!). We stopped by the town of New Norcia, where they are famous for their bakery, but we hadn't had time to stop by =(. We also visited a wildflower farm and Cervantes Beach before heading to the Pinnacles area. Cervantes beach has very pristine white sand and turqoise water - it was very beautiful! I'm only hoping the beach in Bali we'll be visiting next week will be as good.

I'm stuffed

Had a wonderful meal at Amuse last night. It was a 9 course meal and every single dish was a piece of art, beautifully decorated and tasted divine. But it was more than a 9 course when you include palette cleanser & coffee to end off dinner. We dined from 7pm to close to midnight! At the end of the night, I just wanted to roll and sleep. Never been this stuffed before, but definitely was very impressed by the chef.

Update

Gee... I haven't been blogging for close to 2 mths! The only significant event as of late is probably only Oka's birthday bash last week. I've now become a huge fan of the new Alannah Hills collection - so many pretty dresses this season! Her store has become one of my favorites in Perth. I have also promised myself to treat myself to spa once a month, after the most relaxing spa treatment I had at the spa @ the richardson hotel. The spa there is one of the most luxurious I have been to in the longest time. If I were a visitor to Perth, I would definitely check myself into this hotel - good spa, good restaurant (Opus), and beautiful rooms, though a little pricey, but definitely worth checking out for those seeking to pamper themselves. Other than that, upcoming travel plan to Bali. Count down starts today!
