Rottnest Trip

Just last Monday, with the exams over and all... a group of us decided to have an overnight trip on Rottnest Island (approx 2oKm off Perth). Set off early Monday morning and and took a 30min ferry ride from Freemantle. I guess you could kinda liken Rottnest with a cross between our local Sentosa and Pulau Ubin... but of coz minus the clear waters and nicer scenery. Haha.

Spent the whole of the first day island cycling and checking out the many small beaches lining the entire island's coast. Pretty beaches indeed... the isalnd is huge... so yea, lots of cycling... and lots of hills! *panting* Nonetheless, everything was great... beaches were awesome, weather was kind (although most of us got sunburnt despite the muti-layers of sunblock application) and company was good too! I reckon we covered a good 50km or possibly more covering the entire island.... half of which were uphills and coz the followed downs. Great quads and hamstring training!

We booked a bunglow for a nite for just 50bucks.... big and decent place... considering that there were 9 of us, that was a good deal. Spent the second day mainly hanging out at the beach and just chilling. I'll just let the pics do the talking...



Nice crystal clear waters @ The Basin

The Basin again - Pretty pretty...


Bicycles - Taking a break at one of the lookout points

I simply love this pic - took it as we were heading back. Lovely indeed, sunset with the lighthouse in the background... genius!

Quakka - The resident animal on the Island. They're nocturnal and there's like tonnes of them on the island espcieally at night!
