    What is that sound? Say what?

    It has been a while since we woke with an alarm but it was successful in getting us into an early Ferry from Fremantle to Rottnest.
    There are a lot of ships mored out from Fremantle. Mostly container ships and vehicle transports by comparison to all the Ore Carriers up the coast.
    25 min trip by ferry is not bad to take us into the fun. Breakfast - yum. Then on the bikes to circumnavigate the island. We decided to give the southern corner a miss because the wind was coming in quite strongly. Back to the main settlement for lunch and then to Armstrong Bay for some snorkelling, explore the inland roads and salt lakes. Then back to the settlement again for a pre-ferry drink. The party atmosphere everywhere is amazing and it is hard to imagine how the Sandgropers will cope once Covid gets in when the borders open next month.
    Back to Fremantle for a Vietnamese meal that couldn’t be beat for price and taste. Then cycle back to the van.
