Pizza, Anyone?



Today I take you to Rotto for a change, Rottnest Island.



It was a beautiful hot day in February and we found this wonderful mural (again by Robert Jenkins) at Thomson´s.



Pizza, you might ask? Yes, have a look!



It was too hot to eat, though, but, being German, we had a refreshing beer and when you have that at some point you have to go and hence I can show you "the" photo I found in the loo:



Yes, after so many Perth-visits we finally made it to Rotto so see the cute Quoakkas for real!

My big Niece later was unimpressed and just said it looks like a huge rat.
Well, consider huge rats as cute then :-)



You´re not supposed to touch them and we did not. But we showed this one our Mielebär.
Mildly impressed only ;-)

Taking part again in Sami´s COLOURFULWORLD Monday Murals.

That's a cute mural Iris. Even though I'm petrified of rats I love quokkas, they are so cute, maybe it's just in the name.
Fancy even having a mural in Rottnest island!

Iris Flavia said...

Well, tame rats might indeed be kinda cute? I´ve seen pics where they even hold toys...
Oh, that was just the Rotto-mural-beginning, Sami :-)

Beautiful art, well captured.

I like the mural, and the quoakkas are adorable!

Sometimes I'm SO dense. It took forever for me to realize these were all from the same mural. It's a real gem and a super find. Totally impressed, especially the man eating the pizza.

I'd never heard of a Quoakka, much less seen one. The photo on the wall in the loo looks so different from the Quoakka that was introduced to your bear. I used to have one of those bears too, but mine came free with fabric softener. I learn SO much when I visit your blog!

William, yes, they are so cute!

Elizabeth, there are much more men and fish to come from the murals in this restaurant/bar - the artist is so creative!
Yes, the photo in the loo really is THE perfect, cute photo! I think you need a lot of patience to get one smiling that big :-)
Ohhhhh, you had a Mielebär, too, how very sweet is that! Brothers!
That´s also what I love about blogging, you learn so much from others in a fun way, so: Dito!!

Never heard of Rotto before. I do like Pizza but I have trouble with dairy. The tuna mural reminds me of anchovies and which I do like.
Coffee is on

Bertiebo said...

Love them all!

Iris Flavia said...

Jeanie, they are so cute indeed, seemingly always smiling :-)

Redpat, there is more to come!

Dora, it´s a small island near Perth/Fremantle. Must be really awful to not be able to eat diary!

The quokkas are so cuuuute Iris, Aimee went with a friend from England a few weeks ago, the whole purpose of the day was to get a quokka pic 😁 Love the mural xx
