Rottnest

Everything starts early here – or so it seems. With the ferry sailing at 07.15, we had to leave the house – on bikes – at 06.30. Minor hassles getting on board with bikes – Aussies are very fond of their rules for eveything – but we were still having our morning coffee in the Dome cafe on the island by 8.

Rode to the West end with a brief stop for snorkelling at Parker Point and then clambered down to a very secluded beach at Eagle Bay for a picnic lunch. Not sure that the only other people on the beach were pleased to see us arrive but we did outnumber them by at least 2 to 1!

Lovely shady spot to relax and prepare for the ride back to Geordie Bay for ice cream and then on to the Basin for a last swim before we got on the ferry.

Home in time for dinner and an early night.
