Rottnest Island- Day 2

Day two at Rotto was all about enjoying the day. Beautiful sunny skies and low wind made for a great day to explore, although it was a bit chilly. We were hoping to get some snorkeling and biking in. Our friend, Jenn offered to watch Joey and Ryan for the afternoon, so we hopped on our bikes and took off!

Snorkeling didn't happen.. Blue Bottles (aka Portoguese man-of-war) were floating in. Yep, we really didn't need stings to change our day. So, biking to the West End was a must do and we are glad we did. It's one of the most beautiful places in Western Australia. Almost no people. Dolphins, whales, seals.

Great colors of green, blue, torquoise, matched with the tan sands and colorful wildflowers. Needless to say, we just spent some time munching on lunch and looking.

We found several sea urchins, crabs and other fish in the waters around the rocks and beaches. On our bike ride back, we only saw two people.

After this, we've decided that we need to celebrate our 10th anniversary next year somewhere in the Carribean to see snorkeling and islands a bit closer to home. Or, maybe we should just stay here...
