--rottnest island trip.
-got up early and took the bus to ju's. from ju's we took the train to freo. then ju, joel, ashley, and beth and i took the ferry across to rotto. emily took a ferry from the north and got in shortly after us.
-we couldn't get our keys for our villa until 2, so we went just down the coast a bit and hung out on the beach. we saw a quokka and unfortunately beth hit her head on a tree from taking a picture of them. luckily the restaurant gave her some ice. nice few hours on the beach and eating lunch and seeing the quokka until the quokka was trying to get after all of our stuff.
-around two we hired bikes and rode to our villa. unfortunately you have to check in at the ferry site and so we rode back to take care of that. i went with joel but then we needed juliana so emily rode down with her. so that left beth and ashley back at the villa who were sitting outside on the ground enjoying some cider and chips when we returned.
-took a nice walk along our villa beach before working on dinner.
-couldn't get the bbq to work, so we cooked a great meal inside.
-spent the evening playing cards and hanging out. it was a great day.

--rotto day two.
-got up and the group made a good breakfast.
-rode back to the ferry dock to return the key and stick our stuff in a locker.
-rode to the closer lighthouse and on to a beach known as a snorkeling spot.
-tried to snorkel even though the water was freezing and the undertow very strong. i saw some fish and then gave up. took a lot of effort to get out of the water.
-a school group came and so we decided to move on to a different beach to avoid the people. ended up close to our villa and had a picnic lunch.
-then headed back to return our bikes and go have pies at the restaurant. very very tasty.
-relaxed in the grass before our ferry back.
-took the ferry back to freo. emily saw a whale from her ferry, so we missed out on that. took the train back to the city with ashley and beth. then walked through downtown and took the bus back home.
Fantastic trip. we should have stayed longer.
