The boat ride across to Rottnest Island on the 20th May 2011 was horrendous!! Personally I dont get seasick, but the rest of the lower deck obvious did! Their were whole families chucking their guts up... babies, mums and dads, and that stinky clammy sea type of smell pervaded everywhere. No-one in our party was sick however George was certainly looking pretty green!
What a holiday though! Pretty close to being the best ever I would have to say! And so close to Perth. Maybe its because of how simple it was, don't know, or perhaps the wonderful company we had for the 9 days we were there! We went with Hamish/Bec (and kids), Neil and Pip (and kids) and Lucy/Ian (and kids) . Each of the kids were just beautiful little people, it made it easier that there were so many of them. We settled into a routine every night where the dinner was served for the kids (all 9 of them) then we settled them down for a dvd on a laptop and the adults had a very civilised dinner and recounted the day. There was a lot of miles put in on the road by all of us, notable exceptions were Robyns running campaign which she suggested to the girls to do a triathlon on the last day?? Neil's 2 and a half hour Cliff Young style jog out to West End and back? And our wee Georges ride across the island on training wheels...... he did 12k's that day, he must have been knackered the little guy!
We played with the stingrays in Geordie Bay and Neil took me to his secret spot and I caught the biggest King George Whiting you will ever see! I am still showing people the photos, amazing! I fed 8 of us one night! I had a fantastic 44th birthday on the island also..... All in all, an exceptional holiday, we have booked to do it again next year in May! Perfect time of the year, nobody goes and it is great riding weather, next year the kids should have their trainer wheels off so it should be a different vibe again!
