You know, when we arrived at the chalet I was so excited to be there that I completely forgot to take photos of the inside! Anyway, on Wednesday morning before we locked up and returned the keys, I took a couple of snaps so you could have an idea about what the interior of the chalet was like. I tried to rearrange everything to how it was when we arrived, but I’m soooo obviously not a chambermaid (or even a tidy person!). The chair with foot stool is from IKEA (I discovered this on Friday when we went to IKEA – that post is coming up). The little red clock was cute but didn’t work. Coming from a non-air conditioned home, I thought the remote-controlled air-conditioner was fabulous. With no separate lounge area and the bed smack-bang in the middle of the room, it was very much like being in a motel room (albeit a fairly fancy, stylish one). The bathroom was very small – I didn’t take photos of it on the last day because it our wet towels were draped all over the shower – the bathroom was severely lacking in hooks/hanging space. The small kitchen had a microwave, electric frying pan, toaster and kettle. The sink was also tiny – Jac said doing the dishes in it felt like she was washing up in a bathroom sink.

I took a couple of final photos just before I got in the car. It was a lovely sunny day and would’ve been perfect for a day at the beach. But we had to go home. Jac gave me the “hurry up” by starting the car and reversing.

On our way out of Dongara Jac stopped at the Big Lobster so I could take its photo (plaque photo is here).

We drove until we reached Eneabba and stopped at the Shell Roadhouse for a loo break and a spot of brunch.

It was very hot in the car, so we jumped at the opportunity to eat in the air-conditioned roadhouse dining room.

Jac ordered a steak burger, which came with fried onions, salad and barbecue sauce.

I ordered a chicken burger, which came with a crunchy crumbed chicken pattie, a slice of cheese, salad and mayonaise. The tomato in my burger tasted really good, unbelievably great in fact, for reasons unknown. We paid burger-only prices but were given chips with our burgers, which was a nice bonus. I had apparently recovered from being all chipped out, and so the chips went down very well. But I don’t think I will be eating chips again any time soon* (or pies for that matter! ;-)). Our burgers were made to order and were yummy. They were around the $7.00 mark from memory.

We had a number breaks along the rest of the way home, and at one such stop I took a photo of these cows. While I was fiddling with my camera Jac pointed to the next field and said “Look, that boy cow is mounting another boy cow!” I turned to take a photo, but missed it. Oh well.
