There's a small town just about an hour outside Perth called Swan Valley. Its a picturesque lush green place that's a popular attraction to people here. One of the main attractions is its many vineyard's. I went there with my friends during the weekend, visiting a few places around. Now I really don't get what's all the fuss about wine. I tasted a couple of different types, and how I wish I could splurt it out. I looked around me, watching people tasting wine, and I was thinking to myself - these people are really great actor's, cuz this stuff is TERRIBLE!!!. This was white wine btw, the red wine wasn't too bad tho. Anyhow, I'm sure that some wine 'expert' would tell me that I have to still develop the taste for it, or some stupid thing like dat. I'd tell him to go take a hike. Anyhow, you wine drinkers do your thing and leave me at peace.
Next stop was the Margaret River Chocolate Factory....that sounded good. The place from outside didn't look very impressive, but once we stepped in - Woah! That smelt like heaven. Everywhere I looked, there was just chocolate & chocolate. And the best part? I could sample chocolates for free!!! (No wonder the place was swarming with people). Right from dark to white to creamy...u name it and it was there. I could have gone all day, but I had to bid goodbye after sometime before they came and threw me outa there! My friend bought a bag of Irish Cream chocolates and Champagne chocolates. That bag was left in the car when we went out for lunch, which deserves a mention, cuz it was simply splendid. We ate at a small joint by the roadside, a place which had a very homely & country setting. And the food was really good. I've gotta get back there sometime in the near future. But as we were leaving, we noticed that the chocolates had melted completely!! So we were left with a new choc flavour - Irish Champagne!!! But that wasn't bad either...
On our way back to Perth, we stopped by another river town (forgettin the name), had a cup of tea next to the water and strolled about. Everywhere we went, the landscape was plain beautiful. Its so relaxing.....Anyhow, we got back by late evening, and as I turned to bed I promised myself one thing - I've gotta have another go at the chocolate factory.....(",)....
