Sante and Williamstown

We actually went to Sante in Crown Hotel/Casino about a month ago, but I decided to combine pictures from Sante with today's post. Unfortunately Sante has closed down (it closed down 2 days after we went).

I already miss Sante. Even though I've only been once. The buffet was just amazing, and the variety of food - nearly endless!! The only bad thing is the queue - but then again, that shows how popular the restaurant is.



Here are some snapshots of the food available. Some of them were so delicious - I kept going back for more. I think I had 2 big plates worth of food, and still felt hungry after that.







Best of all - the interior design of the restaurant was gorgeous.



We also watched "Captain America" in 3D in the nearby Village Cinema.




On our way out of the cinema/shopping area, we also passed by the casino. It was massive - and I reckon it's even bigger than the ones I see in Singapore.





Main logo of Crown Hotel/Casino. We were heading towards the main hotel area by then.



And here are some pictures of the hotel lobby itself, plus some high-end shops like Versace.










Moving on to Williamstown - I went the other day to take pictures (of course!) and to collect some stuff. It was sunny at first, but rapidly got cold.

And because of the sun, wildflowers were in bloom.





And not to mention the flowers around Williamstown.








It was cloudy by the time I got to the beach, but it definitely helped in the pictures!



Oh, I finally bought something from this mobile food stall the other day! The guy in charge was pretty eccentric but quite nice.



Clear waters - while on the way to the beach.





There were some fishermen and people kayaking -honestly speaking it was really cold that day and I wonder how they actually endured the cold. I wouldn't have been able to do it.



This was taken from the nature walk near the beach. Where lots of people were bringing their dogs out for a walk. Some of the dogs were really hyperactive, and one kept sniffing at me.






When I saw this area here, I was thinking, "Ok I'm definitely getting near the beach!"



Caught this doggie attempting to do a catwalk. Identity crisis, possibly?



He was a gorgeous husky though, and he was with another pal, who strolled off while he was trying to mark his territory.



And it was starting to get even colder, so I decided to leave quickly. It was still winter then, and it got dark at around 5.30pm. Best part - I missed the first bus out, so I had to wait for the next one, and got back pretty late.






It was a good trip anyways!!
