I woke up at 23:00 to take photos in the evening. The moon was shining brightly in the night sky & I was still a noob when it came to taking photos of the stars. Also, it was still windy as shit.  

We woke up & explored the beautiful coast. A hike in Murchison Forge broke up the day, and we spent the afternoon hoping to see dolphins at Monkey Mia.  

Coles was only one of two stops we made today. We were behind schedule and didn’t get to see everything in our itinerary. On the plus side, my threshold for being in a car without wanting to jump out is getting better! 

We spent the night in Fremantle, at a YHA Hostel that used to be part of a women’s prison. Cells were repurposed into living quarters & bathrooms.  

I met Viv & Frank at the lobby of the YHA Perth at 7:57. We headed straight for Fremantle where we waited to board a 9:30 ferry to Rottnest Island. 

The trip will only be for seven days, so I've endeavoured to pack as light as possible. The test: Can I survive a week with three changes of underwear? Probably the bigger test is: Can I survive a week in a car with an engaged couple?
