Rottnest Island - Day 2

 14th May 2021

Glamping was not exactly High on my Bucket List but when you leave the accommodation to whoever puts your tour package together - you get to stay in some interesting places!

Other guests commented that they didn't know if it was supposed to be a Luxury Resort or a Camp Ground.

I think the  'Luxury Eco-Tent' experience would have been more enjoyable had they not planted us under a massive Gum Tree. 
(They always make me nervous!)

The Day's activities began by coming to the realisation that you CAN actually forget how to ride a Bicycle - DH who was a more experienced cyclist handled the ride a lot better!

We were ignored by Quokkas - who being semi nocturnal had obviously had all their fun last night and just wanted to be left alone.

And the Lighthouses I was so excited about Photographing were also camera shy.  

We were informed that Lead Paint was being removed from all surfaces of this Lighthouse which is why it is wrapped tighter than a Christmas present.

The Pinky Beach Lighthouse was also under repair.  

Whereas I was disappointed to not get that Classic Shot, it is not everyday that you can actually see them being restored.  

We think of lighthouses standing stoic against all that Nature can throw at them and not consider that they deserve to be cared for.

With disastrous Coffee (This is the foam DH scooped off his Flat White) 

and meals that were definitely not "Instagram worthy" you would be thinking that today was a bit of a write off.  

That is until...

Best Holiday Activity Ever!

I almost declined the included Segway Lesson and Tour but am SO glad I went - The Segway were so easy to operate and It was so much fun. 

I would definitely do this again!

But all good things must - and it was time to collect our souvenirs, take a few last photos and say Goodbye to Rottnest as more adventures await.
