I’ve uploaded some photos from our week in WA, you can check them out at Flickr until I get my photo album up and running again

- Update -
The photo album is now working again and can be reached through the “Photos” link on the left hand side. I’ve also put some more photos up.

It’s our last full day here in WA and luckily the 39′C heat that was forecasted has not happened, instead it’s around 30 wich is a lot nicer. Yesterday Bec and I went out to Rottnest Island which was really nice, it’s an island about 30 min from freemantle via ferry and you can’t bring a car so you hire a bike and cruisa around to all the nice beaches. Unfortunately yesterday was the only day without sun for the whole time we’ve been here so it wasn’t as good as we had hoped and I couldn’t get any nice photos snorkelling around the reeves as it’s too dark when it’s cloudy, but I saw some nice fish and we had a great day anyway, and last night I also got my first proper kite surf in after a week of crappy wind. Today the girls are away on a little trip and I’m just relaxing at home, nursing a sore neck and waiting for the wind to pick up so I can get out with my kite again for a last time before we head back to Melbourne tomorrow afternoon.

We have now had 5 Days around Perth in WA, and it looks like tomorrow we might finally have a bit of a cooler day as the forcast is “only” 31′C. Against all info I got before we left we haven’t had a single seabreeze yet but hopefully tonight I’ll be able to get out on my kiteboard after 5 days straight of NE (offshore) winds. Bec and I went down to Margaret River, about 2,5h south of Rockingham where our friends live, for three days, looking at a few caves and enjoying the really nice beaches. We are now back in Rockingham and just about to hit the beach. Tomorrow we’re off to Rottnest Island a 30 min boatride from Perth for a nice day of snorkelling and relaxing. Well we better head down to the beach before I die of a heat stroke…

In a few hours we’ll be sitting squashed in to a plane heading west and 4-5h later we will be arriving at Perth. We’re off on a weeks holiday to relax and have fun and visit our friend Phil (Phillippa) who lives in Rockingham south of Perth. It will be great to get away and hopefully there will be some good wind so I don’t drag my kiteboard with me in vain…
