Sa akte jag till Rottnest Island. Jag kopte en tvadagrstripp, da ingick batfard, cykel+hjalm (pa fotot ser ni hur lagom den var....hahaha) samt en natt pa vandrarhem. Pris i euro: 60. Forsta dagen var lite av en pina pga varmen, men framfor allt pga flugorna! Nu vet jag hur kossorna kanner sig, ni vet nar de star dar o viftar lite pa svansen for att fa undan lite flugor, mendan ogon/nasa/mun ar full av flygfan. Man var konstant omringad av ett 20-tal flugor. Jag svalde en och en flog upp i nasan! Jag kande mig som en ko helt enkelt! hahahaha! Kvicksilvret steg mot 38.... inte sa kul att trampa pedal da inte.... Denna o ar bilfri, sa alla cyklar. Nar man motte folk sa viftades det hej villt med handerna. "ah, va trevliga alla ar och hejar hela tiden" tankte jag.... men icke, det var ju flugorna sa klart! ;)
I made a two day trip to Rottnest Island. It was a package which included ferry, bike+helmet (the size was pefect, wasn't it...? hahaha!) and one night at a hostel. Price in euro: 60. Not bad at all. The first day was quite horrible.... the temperature went upp to 38 degrees Celcius (100 F). You could be doing nicer things than be pedaling around an islang without any trees, therefor no shade.... The other thing was the flyes! I had 20-30 around me all the time! And as soon as you saw some other people, everyone was waving their hand like crazy, and I thought "what a buch of nice people, waving Hi to me", but NO, that was ofcourse to keep the damn flyes away! hahaha :)
Det fanns en restaurang och ett cafe pa on. Sa det gallde att ha med sig mat, eller i alla fall vatten nar man begav sig ivag. Och med tanke pa skylten, sa trodde jag naturligtvis att varenda pinne jag sag pa marken var en livsfarlig orm! Jag sag manga pinnar under min resa, men inga ormar, tack for det televerket :)On the island there was only one restaurant and one cafe. You had to bring food and water when you took off on your bike. And after seeing this sign, I thought every single branch on the ground was a poisonous snake!! I saw many branches.... but not a single snake!
Jag at en trevlig frukost pa Dome cafe. Direkt fick jag en ny van, en fiskmas, som garna ville ta del av det goda....I had breakfast at the Dome cafe. Of course I got a new friend that morning....
Quokkas ar fridlysta djur som bor pa on. De ar utrotningshotade, men ar anda valdigt oradda. Sota, eller hur!The quokkas is under threat of extermination and these cute animals are living on the island!
Jag cyklade runt nastan hela on i tva omgangar. Jag var uppe i ottan och fick alla strander for mig sjalv i princip. Jag badade i Parker point samt Ricey Beach. Inte en manniska, underbart vatten... och sa fanns det inga flugor den dagen!I went around almost the whole island. I went up at 06 am and I had all the beaches to myself! I went swimming at Parker Point and Ricey Beach. Wonderful water and not a single fly that day.....
