A day trip to Rottnest

Yesterday was a day filled with adventure - sailing, walking, cycling, bird-watching etc.

My day started at 8.30 am and ended at 7.30pm when I laid my tired self on my bed and fell instantly asleep.

Rottnest island is this big island about 30 minutes only on a speed-boat journey off the coast of Western Australia. The most unique point about Rottnest is that there are no private/ hired cars ( about 3 work-men's small trucks), but only walkers and cyclists.

I treasure the unspoilt, pristine nature of the island - the crisp, clean air, the quiet surroundings, the crystal clear water, the few quokkas freely roaming around, the quietly patient and efficient workers at the cafe, bicycle shop, harbour etc.

I like to re-

visit this gem of a paradise on earth soon.
