Hi Everyone

We had another great day today. We left Rudy & Cheryl's around 10am and went for a drive up to Hillarys which is a combination of Southbank and Wet'n Wild and an amusement park. It is very popular, especially on weekends and has lots for familys to do. Heaps of specialty shops, restaurants, coffee shops etc. We then drove inland and went to the Swan Valley where they have lots of vineyards with cellar doors, wine tasting, restaurants etc. a chocolate factory and a cheese factory. We checked out a cellar door and the chocolate factory (yes free samples!!!!!) but didn't find the cheese factory (still looking.....) We had a late lunch of wood fired pizza at a little brewery there which was really lovely. We then drove home and stopped down by the beach and watched the sun set over the Indian Ocean near Rudy & Cheryl's place which of course is very different to home as we watch the sun rise over the ocean in Queensland and as I am a sunset/sunrise fanatic I had to sit and watch it set again. We then sat and talked for way too long again and kept Rudy & Cheryl up. It is our last night with them and we have had a fantastic time and look forward to coming back here again sometime in the future and spending more time with them. The rest of the family arrive tomorrow (5/10) and we are then going to start our travelling around down south. Hope all is going well with you all. Don't forget you can leave messages onthe message board on this website for us...... it's free!!!! (Yes that is a hint kids). Take care. Love to all. Pam & Noel
