STAY:  Perth: Pensione Hotel, Perth 70 Pier Street, Perth City Centre, Perth, Australia 6000  I have blogged about this place before and because of the previous good impression. We decided to return to this place again.  The rooms is adequate size and clean as i remembered. A few things have changed though. There is no parking space allocated to guests. And if you require parking space you need to reserve in your booking and additional charges apply. The space where you parked your car while you pick up/ drop off your luggages could be fine summons if you leave your car idle there for more than 15 minutes.  Alternatives is free street parking on the roads which is 2 blocks away from the hotel. But you need to pick up your vehicle before 8 am.  STAY:  Kalbarri Edge Resort, Kalbarri 22 Porter Street, Kalbarri, WA, 6536 Australia Clean rooms though a little dated in furnishings. The rooms are huge and can accomo...

There isn't that much of selections for food.  These food places that we tried are generally tasty and i will recommend to try these places.  The Western Woodfired Pizza 6/89 Knight Terrace, Denham WA 6537, Australia Very crispy and yummy pizza. Hubs wanted to try it again but  he never got the chance to have it again as it was only  open on thursday to sundays. This is mainly a takeaway stall only. No seating at all. The crust is very crispy and filling is nice. Shark Bay Bakery 89 Knight Terrace, Denham WA 6537, Australia This cafe is just next door to our hotel so yes, i will deem it very conveniently located. Always good to have a good and hot breakfast. Coffee is smooth and nice. The food here is simple and straight forward. While it is appetizing, it is not impressive at all. Shark Bay Hotel 43 Knight Tce ,  Denham, Western Australia 6537,  Australia Simple dinner we had here. Food is passable and...

The youtube video that prompted this trip to Monkey Mia.  Driving in from Perth to Denham is a straight 8.5 hrs journey. Hence, the trip needed to be well planned to minimize the time spent on the road.  Monkey Mia from Denham is short 30 minutes drive. We planned to stay in Denham because more choices of accomodation and food. While at Monkey Mia, you can only stay at Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort and food can only be obtained from The Boughshed, the resort's restaurant.  So what are things to do a Monkey Mia? None other than dolphin experience, a marine cruise and shell beach. Nothing fancy. Yes, I couldn't agree more. Monkey Mia Dolphin Experience The dolphin experience at the Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort will begin at 7.30 am and held at intervals till 12 pm in the afternoon. You will see guests gathered along the beach and that's when you know the dolphin feeding is about to begin.  You may get a chance to feed the dolphin if you a...
