Rottnest Island

I woke up at 6 am. Took it easy for a while before u had breakfast around 7 am.
I then packed up and left the campground at 8 am to drive to the harbour.
The ferry to Rottnest Island is leaving at 9 am. Normally it's just a 15 minute drive but it took me 30 minutes due to much traffic. Was starting to stress out because it's not so easy to find a parking place there. But I was so lucky to find one immediately.
Got a parking ticket, grabbed my stuff and walked to the ferry. Shortly after I arrived they started boarding.
What should be a perfect day with good condition was for my very bumpy.. I don't mind but I wonder how it is on a day with not so good conditions...
It took just a little bit more than 30 minutes over to Rottnest Island. Had a walk around the village first and saw a few Quokka here. I then went to Pedals & Flippers to rent a bicycle.
And then I was off on my 10 km loop around the island. Did not go to the far end. 10 km was already more than enough..
I saw some beautiful beaches, met some Quokka on the way and had a break on the beach at Salmon Bay.
All bays and beaches were super full and people were snorkeling like hell.
It's supposed to be 23 degrees but I think it was much warmer. Was sweating like hell but forgot my bikini so no swimming for me 🙈😅
But it's ok. I booked the 2:30 pm ferry back so I had just around 3 1/2 hours for my bicycle tour what was perfect for the loop.
When I came back to the settlement I still had some time over so I went to The Basin. On the way there I found 4 very active Quokka and got some really nice pictures 😍
The Basin was nice but the ocean was not so calm.
I returned the bike at 2 pm and had a slowly walk over to the harbour.
I am so exhausted from this trip I can't explain it! Luckily the bike are much better now than 5 years ago! No bruises this time!
The ferry ride back to Fremantle was smother this time. Arrived shortly past 3 pm and went to my car to leave the big city behind. To much traffic, to many people. Not what I like.
Have a good plan for tonight and the day tomorrowEn savoir plus
