Margaret River HideAway
Friday. 5.7.10 10:34 pm


I planned this trip to Margaret River as an escape before the new baby arrives. It is some quiet time away from the city, surrounded by nature and tranquil scenes and fresh air. Fernando, Sofia and I took at least 5 days away from the hustle and bustle to relax. I wish I was back there again! This time I didn't miss going back to surburbia, I loved the country life...and even considered maybe one day buying my own bit of land there amongst the forests.

The trip to Margaret river was shortened with the new Forrest Hwy, our last trip it took us almost 5 hours but now it takes 3. My parents joined us for the first 2 nights then they had to return to the city for work. It was the road trip of all road trips, this time we borrowed F's parents Land Cruiser 4WD...it made such a difference to our comfortability because the last time we were crammed into our Mazda 2. Also we were a bit more adventurous in taking the gravel trails out to the bush, I don't think the hatchback could have taken that terrain. We came across the Cane Break Pools that was a still lake of fresh water, it was beautiful...the sign invited swimmers but it being so cold and the bottom was difficult to see, it was a bit scary actually!

We stayed at Margaret River Hideaway which was a farm stay. It is not your typical farmstay where you live in crappy cottages, but it was more like 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom units with modern interior, bar, barbeque and fireplace. I loved it! The nights were fairly chilly and the days were nice and sunny. We received a complimentary red wine but I was unable to drink... :( We did visit one winery, Xanadu which is well known in the region to sell great wine. So we purchased a bottle of Xanadu fortified wine and Semillion Blanc. Can't wait to crack them open, but it will be 1.5 years from now because of the breastfeeding that will follow! Sofia was enjoying herself immensely, she experienced a lot on the farm and braved the hungry sheep and chickens that followed her when she held food in her hand. She is definitely an outdoorsy girl...

I was sad to leave, I wanted a longer holiday! I didn't like returning to work after reaching the level of relaxation I did...it would just be undone again *sniff*. I ate a bit too much I think and now my belly has increased in size. My OB tells me my baby is going to reach 7 pounds! A big diff from Sofia's 5.7 pounds. Oh well I had prepared myself that second is gonna be a big one...plus boys are bigger? I felt really well on the road trip, I wasn't too tired and was able to walk quite a distance. I am surprised how well this pregnancy is going! I guess I wasn't as stressed out as last time when I had to plan a wedding and all lol.
