Up at 8am, breakfast downstairs. Walk to Thrifty to collect car, leave at 9.30ish for Fremantle and make it there without getting lost, though uneasy about M's driving. Lots of roads closed, finally found the ferry wharf. Had to wait 45 minutes for next Rottnest ferry so took the cheaper ticket.
We boarded the ferry, and it was horribly bumpy, and I felt incredibly ill. On the island, I took it easy until I felt better, and then we had a walk to see what there was to see. We went towards the lighthouse, and spotted a few quokkas hiding in the shrubbery.
We sat down to eat some lunch, and then realised how tame the quokkas are. It was all we could do to keep them out of our sandwiches.
As it was off-season there wasn't an enormous amount to see on the island, though there was a beautiful peacock.
We got the boat back, and this time I was prepared - I stayed out on the deck and kept the horizon firmly in my sights.
Back in Fremantle, we had a look in the markets on the wharf - they were quite exciting. I remember seeing some Buddhist prayer flags in particular.
We went back to Perth, and to the hotel.
