Rotto - what a great place to be!

Rottnest Island is still one of my favourite islands! On Sunday friends of us invited us to join them on their boat for a short trip to Rotto! So we packed our eskies and jumped on board their 45-footer. The weather was great - blue sky, sun shine, for the first time above 30C, and the wind died off in the afternoon!

So we cruised to one of these lovely bays around Rottnest and set the anchor. But unfortunately we weren't the only ones - there were about 15 - 20 boats!! Due to the ongoing economy boom in Perth there is a lot of money here at the moment. And I was told that companies that sell luxurious boats having trouble selling - because all the moorings and anchorages are taken! There is simply no room for more big boats!

The day on the boats was sooo relaxing!! All we did was eating, drinking, swimming, sun bathing and enjoying ourselves! And the water was crystal clear - at 3,5m one could still see the ground! But the water is still freezing!! I didn't swim for more than 10min.! Other people tried to catch fish, went skurfing, diving or cruised around in their dinghies.
