RELAXING AT ROTTO

Day 365 - 367

Rottnest Island, WA

John and Annie had breakfast on the boat and Greg, Mum and i had breakfast at our Villa. Greg and i went and bought some provisions from the Geordie Bay Shop (expensive!!) so we were set for a few days.

We were going to have BBQ's for the week!

The BBQ was a bit of a problem actually, the ignition didn't work! It's a pain when things aren't what they should be. THe windows were filthy too. For $1050 for the six nights you'd expect the BBQ to work and the window's to be clean!

Talking about windows - the view from our balcony is superb! Overlooking Geordie Bay. We're staying in # 928 which i must admit does look over the Bay..but it also overlooks the houses in front. If the house wasn't full of scredaming children we'd be happier..but still, we were enjoying the peace of being on a remote island, away from the stresses of life!

The only thing that has been a negative is Annie's BIKE! SHe'd had a crash on it and cracked the derailer...so when John hopped on it yesterday to go and get his boat permit he finished it off..and now the derailer is completely damaged!

Greg and i took the bike to the Bike Shop but they said they had to get a part sent from town..and it all got too hard..so in the end she just said she'd take it to the place in Freo where she bought it..and get it fixed.

But it means..she has a new bike..but can't ride it!!!!

It turned out well tho..cos Annie can catch the bus with Mum..while Greg and i ride...

All things are meant to be!

Can't let things like that dampen the relaxing time at Rotto!!!!
