By the time that we left, watching the sun sink towards the horizon as the boat eased away from the pier on Rottnest Island, I was already replaying my favourite parts of the day in my head...Rottnest Island should be on everyone's bucket list when in Australia. It is a shining jewel and it exceeds every expectation you could possibly have, tenfold.
The full moon lantern festival happens once a month, and it is essentially a celebration of the moon. As the sun goes down, the streets of Hoi An's old city light up with thousands of lanterns, people come out to celebrate and the moon casts a calm glow over everything. It is magical.
