Rottnest for the moment
08/10/06

For those of you who truly, madly and deeply know us, you’ll know that our favourite holiday spot, possibly in the world, is a little island off Perth called Rottnest.

Yes, its true that apart from last new years when we slept in a random person’s hammock, in their backyard, we have never stayed there overnight. But it is also a well known fact that as long as stay for the sunset, you too will agree that Rotto is superbly majestic.

Coming to France for a year meant a year apart from our beloved island, a distance met with great anxiety and sadness. And, it really is a place that we missed during our summer months here. Don’t misunderstand us: france has many a thing Australia does not. But Rottnest island is one of Australia’s advantages.

On Sunday, we traveled to Marseille for the millionth time partly to visit Chateau d’If. When we got to the ferry terminal at around 4, the lady at the counter told us that the last one had already left. BUT there was an option B. Apparently there is another island off the coast, just next to Chateau d’If. So, sam and I thought why not try it instead.

And we think we found our Rottnest for the moment. What do you guys think?
