Nicole's First Trip (Perth) - Part 2

Day 2: A Day Trip to Margaret River

Before embarking on a 5hr road trip to Margaret River, we strolled into a 'happening-looking' cafe, Zekka, for breakfast. It's located along King Street and houses a small cafe and a boutique.

An alley leading towards the cafe is littered with installation art and its sidewalls are painted with whimsical-looking murals.

The place isn't very big - the concrete floors give it a bit of a warehouse feel but it's not at all cold or uninviting, more of a peaceful escape.

Verdict: Cool arty decor & off the beaten track. Seriously good coffee. Recommended.

After what seemed like eternity, we finally reached one of the vineyards- Cullen. The whole journey took a little less than the estimated 5 hrs. Thank God Nicole slept through for most part of the journey... think it's the droning of the engines that made it conducive for her to sleep like a baby.

Feeding time!

Burping time


A well-fed Nicole

Daddy and Aunt Sally ventured towards the wine-tasting counter while Mummy and Nicole looked on.


After the two wine connoisseurs had selected their wines, we made our way outside for lunch, alfresco style. Great weather - sunny but not hot and humid.

Having a field time at the vineyard!

Most of us ordered lamb - tender and succulent. All the delectable food and wine served here are organic, estate-grown. As the grown-ups indulged in their food and wine, lil' Nicole was sound asleep... probably from all the excitement earlier.

Joining us were Uncle Chester and Auntie Eve. After lunch, we proceeded on to the next 2 wineries.

Soon, it's time to head back towards town - another 5 hrs of journey. We had thoroughly enjoyed ourselves during this road trip.... Great weather, great food, great wine and mostly, great company... What more can we ask for??!!! :)
