Day 1: 3 Galleries

Home sweet home! We are home now, we didn’t do much yesterday (Day 7), but I’ll write it here anyway.

Day 7, our last day in Tasmania was an easy going day. We left Swansea just after 10am, and headed to Launceston where we arrived at about 12.30. We had lunch at a Mexican restaurant, then had to fill in time until around 5.30pm when it was time to go to the airport and return the hire car. We walked around the shops, and stopped at coffee shops a bit to fill in the time. We filled in more time at the airport until we boarded the plane at 7.50pm, just surfing the internet on our iPads and drinking more coffee (at least I did, LittleB is not a coffee drinker) and eating snacks. It was a lot of time to fill in, but it felt like it passed quickly.

The flight home was good, we arrived home earlier than scheduled.

I’m getting started on photos now, I am transferring them from my laptop now to my main computer. I should have some Day 1 photos up later tonight, I’ll post a link here when I do.

Today started with a drive to the top of Mt Wellington. From there we had clear views of Hobart and the landscape for many miles, in many directions (Photos soon). The wind was very stong and extremely cold. The wind chill factor certainly had to be below zero degrees celcius, I can hardly remember feeling air so cold in the Swedish Winter. We photographed all of the views as quickly as possible and ran for the car. We were frozen to the core.

I’m updating my blog for yesterday and today. I couldn’t do it last night, I was very tired and had a long sleep instead. I’m really tired again now, I’ll soon be heading off to dinner and suspect I’ll be straight to bed when I get back.

After checking out of the lodge, day 3 soon provided us with the best view of the trip so far – lemonthyme lodge in the rear view mirror, behind the dust of course. I should have taken a photo, it was beautiful.

I am updating the blog with day 2 info today on day 3 of our trip, because we had no 3G reception at all, and no Internet. Today I still don’t have Internet access with my laptop (Optus) but do have Internet with my iPad (Telstra). So using my iPad I can type into my blog, but can’t post photos. Tomorrow night (day 4) I’ll be in Hobart and will be able to post some photos then.

With that out of the way, I can write about day 2!
