post 47. rottnest: of quokkas and shipwrecks

went back to rottnest on 19th oct, friday. cos mr musa was leaving australia and he wanted to go back and he wouldn't stop sulking till we did so, off we went then. ^^

almost didn't make it cos i forgot to check the bus timetable. when arrived at perth train station, where we were supposed to meet up, the guys were not there. i figured that they had gone ahead so jumped on the train to freo. made it to the ferry terminal with ten minutes to spare. was quite touched to see that the strawberry-head was happy to see me. oh well, i know i am awesome. :P

so this was what we saw when we reached rottnest. a peacock and a peahen on the roof of the bike rental shop. (was going to say something about there being two cocks and a peahen in the picture, but that may be a bit unkind. :>)

so after the guys got their bikes (i brought my own), we set off with mr musa in the lead to try to do one whole round around the isle. squirrels, away! (yes, we have a terrible bike gang name, but the other one, f@*#nuts, was unprintable. we do have standards here, you know.)

so there we were oohing and ahhing at the scenery, then, dead end. hah. turns out NO ONE was reading the map. i was trusting strawberry head to do it. lol. after checking the map turns out the road we were on was a dead end. so, time to head back to the start.

so rob and i were snapping pics of this tree when we heard a rustling behind us. turned away and rob was the first to see a liazrd in the bushes. was too ugly so didn't take any pics. but as were we getting on our bikes the second time, we saw something that was much cuter.


when u r cute u get more pics. ^^


finally in the correct direction


stopped for a pic break. as you can see, rob was a little frustrated cos we been stopping every 5 mins to pics like little old ladies.

here's kelvin. he needs to use a tripod to take his pics. spends 5 mins setting up and less than a min taking. hmmm.

anyway, after the quick break, on the bikes again. squirrels, away!


on the road again

pic of shipwreck. slightly chilling. them tides be nasty.

(to be continued in another post cos i am hungry now)
