SW Jonnymoon - Part 1 - The Road to Albany

We have made it back to Perth from our Five Day adventure. For anyone interested in following our path, we went Perth to Albany to Denmark to Walpole to Pemberton to Augusta to Yallingup to Dunsborough to Busselton to Perth (1800km). Wow, say that one in a sentence. Anyhoo. As I took "heaps" of photos, I'm going to just slowly upload them along with stories (you'll have to wait mom!). I gotta have time to get my life back in order! Stupid ironing. Does anyone know any secrets on ironing the sleeves, i hate those things. Back to the photos. Part 1 can be found click here.

We headed off for the great Southwest coast of Western Australia on Wednesday. We were all smiles. JP got his first taste of driving on the wrong side of the road. Even with the coaching, he still put on the windshield wipers for his first turn. It gets us all. We did a last minute change of plans to the route. Due to unfavourable weather forecasts for Albany for the next 5 days, we decided to head to Albany first and hope for the good weather at the end of the trip.

Well, we certainly got some heavy rains. It's funny driving through these areas that have no green vegetation. Everything looks dead, yet it's pouring rain! Did we pick bad day or what?
After making it to Albany, we found out that they still have dinosaurs. Not only do they have these prehistoric creatures, but they are known to cross the street in certain areas. Thanks for letting us know Albany!

It was a bit chilly in Albany, but that didn't stop me from heading into the water on the first night. In actual fact, the water was warmer than outside, and I wouldn't get out as it was too nice just standing. I'm flashing 3 fingers to mark my 3rd Ocean i've been in: Pacific, Indian, Southern. Next up: Atlantic.... I'm not so sure on the Arctic.

We decided to make a wise choice and spend a little extra the first night for a cabin 80 metres from the beach. It was more than camping, but the heavy rains turned into heavier rains with thunder and lightning. Money well spent. For more photos from day 1 click here.

Back to work tomorrow .... Boooooooooooooo
