Rottnest Island

Okay so as I said before we had a friend, Kimberly visiting us this last week. We had so much fun with her and did a ton but I just want to tell you about one thing. We went and spent the day at a little island called Rottnest.  It's about a 20 minute drive and 30 minute boat ride from where we live. There not much on it. A few restaurants and a hotel but it is beautiful. You need bikes to get around the island so we rented  some and biked about 16 km around the island. We didn't make it all the way around but we saw most of it. There are all these tiny little secluded bays to stop at with white sad and perfect clear blue water. We made it up to the light house, that was Jer's favorite. We also ran into some little animals called quakkas that rome around the island. It was the coolest thing ever! I think it's my favorite thing that  have done in Australia. It's a pretty tough bike ride, super hilly but so worth it. It's too beautiful to describe and the pictures don't do it much justice but here are some anyways.
