Rotnest Island

Me and Kev took a little trip to Rotnest Island, which was a little island about 40 minutes from the coast of Perth. We got the Ferry from Hillary's harbour and arrived at the island ready to find our campsite, a back pack full of goodies including our two man tent and a portable cooker!! The island is full of Quokkas, they look like huge rats, not as ugly but have tails just like them. There are no cars on the island, its all about cycling, so we set up the tent....well...Kev set up the tent and then we went to hire some bikes! When you hire a bike, you have to also hire a helmet, its the rules..we couldn't find one to fit Kev's head...bless..all his childhood hang ups came flooding back....he could just hear ",MEAT HEAD, MEAT HEAD!" haha....We had the worst bikes ever,no gears or anything! So we started to cycle around the island..we stopped at the first cove called Henrietta Rocks! We went snorkeling, I put the flippers on and everything...but i couldn't swim with them on...I panicked..tried to swim back to shore and scraped my knees on the rocks!! That was the end of snorkeling for me! We carried on riding round the island, it was full of hills and it was so much bigger than i thought, so mid way round, i gave up, threw the bike and got myself a blag cob on! haha..bare in mind,it was blazing hot too!! We eventually made it back to the camp site, had a little nap...revived to get out tot the pub for our tea and to watch the Everton match! The night in the tent wasn't the comfiest. We could just feel the stone floor underneath us...and Kev was too big for the tent! Then we were woke up at 6am by the song of the crows..horrible little cretins they are..ha! So Kev took a little trip to the shop and got us some breakfast products. He cooked it on the portable stove, he was in his element!! ha..We caught the ferry back to Perth at 11am...it had been a good stay but I was so tired from all the cycling, I used muscles I didnt know existed!! True to form, Kev fell asleep on the ferry back and I spent 45 minutes talkin to myself!!
