Day Trip To Margaret River

We set off early this morning after our quick breakfast and our first stop for the day was to Canal Rock. It was about half hour drive from where we were and when we arrived, we were blown away by the beautiful sight.
It is soooooooooooooooooooooo beautiful!!! This place is very popular among the locals who prefer to get a shallow dip or sit by the rocks to enjoy the breeze and view. To us, it’s simply a beautiful sight!!!

We continued our journey to Margaret River and stopped over at The Chocolate Factory which is famous for their chocolates. The kids went crazy over the chocolate tasting area and they almost finished all the chocolates in the bowl. Lady Faith started hand-picked the chocolates for her friends and teachers as souvenirs from Australia. Initially, she wanted to get individually chocolates for all her friends and teachers but that will end up too costly so, we decided to get different flavours in bigger bars instead. J
After checking out the shops in Margaret River Region, we headed to Swings Taphouse & Kitchen for our luncheon. We ordered some pretty good dishes like pizza, salads, pastas etc. to share. The food was not fantastic unfortunately and yet quite costly for simply meals. I guess we can get better quality food back home.

The Margaret River Region is basically a very small town with pretty interesting shops nearby and though we would like to explore more but we had to head back to Yallingup for our horse riding appointments.

We were on time for our horse riding and after a short briefing from the ‘cowgirls’, we rode onto our horses and off we go! We chose the ride to the forest and man… it was simply an extra-ordinary experience indeed. Lady Faith was able to control her pony and she looked really confident and comfortable on her pony. The one hour horse right through the forest was so fun and eye-opening that it felt like only 10 minutes instead. We wished we could have a longer ride to explore more…. mmmh… perhaps the next time.
We are truly blessed to have Chef Mike with us as he was the one who made us dinner while we headed for our forest adventure.

Thank you Mike & Stella for whipping up a good dinner and looking after our little Emma while we were out… J
