Weekend in Margaret River

 If I could sum up last weekend's trip to Margaret River, I would describe it a pleasant little excursion of wining, eating, and romps along the beach. Oh, and driving. 

On Friday night the three of us drove three hours outside the city to stay at the Pullman Bunker Bay Resort. (On the drive up to the resort, I could see the stars in the sky like never before. It was gorgeous.)
It's a scenic place with a maze of villas(?) by the beach. I call it a maze because without a map, you would never find your way back. (Or maybe you would, I just have a crappy sense of direction.) Our own little villa was nice; it came with a kitchen and two bedrooms, and for the first time in my almost 26 years of life, I got my own bathroom. That being said, I think that my room was haunted, because a) it was always freezing in there, and b) on the second night, when I had a small heater put in, I turned it off before I went to sleep, and when I woke up in the middle of the night... It was back on again. *cue creepy music*

It quickly became obvious that the breakfast at the Inn was turning into the highlight of my weekend... 

Obligatory breakfast shot. Muesli with fruit, which I never have, and it was delicious, along with everything else I had that morning. But sadly enough, I didn't take any other food pictures beyond this one. 

The beach was only five minutes away, so that's where we would head after breakfast....

There be whales here! Or so I'd hoped.

The beach life suits him, no? 
A shot of yours truly.



On Saturday afternoon afterwards, we visited some wineries...
The Vasse Felix Winery was the nicest looking.

Then on Sunday, we finished up our weekend getaway with a visit to the Busselton Jetty, known as the longest pier in the southern hemisphere. 

... But not before having one last pint for the road.









Stay classy, Busselton.


All in all, a fun weekend. 
(Bonus points to the Pullman Bunker Bay Resort for giving us brownies to take home with us.)
