Flag of Australia Rottnest Island, Australia
Saturday, October 15, 2005

Friday 14 october was fact my last visits at all, since Hogeway at Weesp, Holland back in May, which was the first. Off the top of my head I've visited about 70 different homes in the past six months. Now I've got to decide which to publish. And I'm still gettig e-mails from people telling me that I must visit their place.

My friend Brian who arranged and has shown me around these homes took me out to dinner last night with his wife. Brian is semi-retired and was telling me about his time in London as a young architect, working for Maxwell Fry, Denis Lasdun, and Erno Goldfinger (very famous architects in the 1960's)

Today I went scuba diving at Rottnest island, a small island in the Indian ocean near Perth and Fremantle. Water was a cool 18deg, requiring two wetsuits and relatively shallow at 14m. Mostly limestone outcrops with some coral but plenty of fish. Swam through a tunnell and through some crevacies which was wicked. 2 dives plus lunch and I got to drive the boat part of the way back in a really heavy swell - 2metres. Fortunatly at the island we were sheltered from this. Good job no-one on the boat suffered from seasickness, it was a real chunder ride!
