Saturday 10th April 2010 - Rottnest Island WA

Well the scenery here may be spectacular, but the coffee is not!! will try somewhere else tomorrow - and hope it improves!

Walked to the Settlement from Geordie Bay this morning, had coffee (ugh!) and explored the area, lunch at the pub (used to be the Governors residence in days gone by, but put to a much better purpose now), great, could have stayed all day but probably would have gotten  drunk and had to sleep on the beach, so instead went on the Heritage tour. These tours are great, run by volunteers and free and last approx 1 to 1 1/2hrs (so not too long).

Back at Geordie Bay for evening drinks and Sunset and basically that is how Rottnest days go, laid back and relaxing, food and walks on the beach, it is a little cool for swimming at this time of year, but the weather is fantastic for walking and exploring the island.


Sleeping again to the sound of breaking waves on the beach, wonderful.
