Day 21 Rottnest Island 22.4.17

Up early to catch the ferry to Rottnest Island.  Gordie and Kerry were catching up with friends and Gordie was keen for a kite surf so we left them behind at the camp 🙁but would catch up later for dinner….

We boarded the ferry with our hire bikes at 0745. The trip across was quite rough with a bit of swell and a lot of reef areas well negotiated by the ferry captain.

We had a coffee stop first at the bakery on  the island and saw our first quokkas at the mall…. One took a real liking to Trev….and Rosie could not resist them!

We cycled about 20 kms around the island stopping for swims, quokka photo ops and spectacular views along the way.

Despite Rosie’s knee which was still recovering from the kayak incident she did well cycling with a little assistance on the hill climbs from Trev

 

…and despite not wanting to get her hair wet, Trev and Dave made sure she had a good dunking!

We returned to the main settlement  for lunch and realised that the fine situation could have ended up at number three after reading the sign below….😨…ROSIE!

After a great day we returned to camp to find no Gordie and Kerry just an sms to let us know Gordie had only just gotton out of the water at 630PM after a good afternoon of kite surfing…..
