Day 2 in Rottnest Island.... I woke up feeling pain in all my leg muscles and buttocks! It feels like they don't belong to me when I start to walk. I almost gave up on today's cycling journey.

There's 3 types of suggested bike rides in Rottnest Island: a) Ride 1 - 4k Too easy 1/2 - 1 hour ( The Settlement - Garden Lake - Lake Herschel - Geordie Bay - Longreach Bay - The Basin - Bathurst Lighthouse - The Settlement ) b) Ride 2 - 10km Relax or snorkel 1 1/2 - 3 hours ( The Settlement - Thomson Bay - Kingstown - Henrietta Rocks - Porpoise Bay - Vera Rocks - Parker Point - Little Salmon Bay - Salmon Point - Salmon Bay - Serpintine Lake - Government House Lake - Garden Lake - The Settlement ) c) Ride 3 - 22km Whole of island 3 - 5 hours ( The Settlement - Thomson Bay - Kingstown - Henrietta Rocks - Porpoise Bay - Vera Rocks - Parker Point - Little Salmon Bay - ...

We bought a return ticket (extended stay) at the price of $68++ per person, departing B-Shed Fremantle. {($30.75 x 2 ways) x 25% discount voucher + $22 (government fee)} Upon arrival we went to the Visitor Centre to check on our accommodation.

Since it's still too early to check in the unit, we decided to take a stroll around the island, find some food to fill up our stomach and hire a bike.
