Waking up to a decent night rest, the 3 musketeers rolled out of bed, embarking on the newest adventure: Western Australia's Rottnest Island. The Island, off the coast of Perth, is a full two hour boatride across the Indian Ocean. The day was cloudless as we made our way around the island wishing the day would never end. I've never seen beaches so white, where the famous Quokka a.k.a. (a massively large looking rodent) freely scatter the Island, pining for food from your hand. Our day was a relaxing break from foul-mouthed Irishmen and smooth-talking frenchies present on our non-stop touring the past 4 days. Jose was convinced a full 24-hour sleepathon was required to full recover. We spent the day enjoying the view and having a friendly chat with a Rottnest local. She guided us to the island's circle bus, as she told us of her special love for Canadians. The photo oppourtunities were endless, but the picture perfect day ended with the best portrait of all: Prince William. Boarding the ferry home, Vicky and I were determined to watch full coverage of the Royal Wedding. Annoying Jose to the nines about dresses, the royals and rants about our perfect wedding, we sat in the depths of the Rottnest ferry on a Friday evening in order to absorb every moment! The problem occured once the ferry docked in Perth. Meaning all passengers ashore. Kate hadn't even walked down the aisle yet! Rushing from port to the nearest possible antenna, Vicky and I saw a light emerging from a local bar. Shoving passengers out of the way, we followed our hearts to the closest form of television in Perth. The local bar on the wharf had to do. Excitement for the day had been fullfilled. Jose was left in the dust but he managed to subside his annoyance with a plate of chicken parmy. Once in a lifetime, Rottnest was everything and more, but no one can take me away from a royal wedding. There is just so much beauty to admire!
