Went to Rotto on Thursday! Probably a highlight for the year so far :)
It was lots of fun and very relaxing...When i left i felt like i had just gone for a massage and spa treatment! The weather was perfect...hot but not too hot...and the beaches were clear and refreshing. We hired bikes (and some of us snorkel gear) and we attempted to cycle around the island to fulfill one of my friend's points on her "bucket list".
In the end though, we ended up cutting through to get to Little Parakeet Bay but we went down a lot of wrong roads (which meant the short enjoyment of freewheeling down hills was cut short with the idea of having to ride back up them...) so i rekon that all those detours added up to the same distance as cycling around the entire island...or so i like to think!

Little Armstrong Beach was my favourite spot of the day. It felt like we'd discovered a secret cove...after almost passing out from cycling, the crystal clear, cold water felt beautiful. I think I want to get married there :) lol

We ended up skipping Parakeet Bay due to time restrictions as we had to return the hired bikes by 4:30 i think it was...and we went to the pub so that my friend's friends from Seattle could taste Lemon Lime Bitters for the first time. They were hooked :) 

Even though I spent a lot of money that day it was just so refreshing to take a day away from Perth to go snorkelling, cycling, beaching, and just admiring nature and how beautiful it really is.

My favourite place in the entire world.

The beach. The one place I can be myself and forget about everyone and everything. It makes headaches, stomach pains, aching limbs and confused minds disappear almost immediately. White, yellow, baby blue skies when the sun rises, and pink, yellow, orange, blue skies when the sun sets. Beautiful! I love watching what God's created for us; a special show every day of the week. It makes me appreciate being able to breathe and think in a gorgeous country like Australia.Who cares about "messed up hair and makeup", sand in my bikini, sand in my nails, chipped nailpolish, sand on my skin, bad phone reception, and the other things I've heard my friends complain about. I love the whole feeling that the beach gives you. It's the best place to be!
