Today we set off continuing south towards Bruny island. We drive past Hobart thru Kingston, Margate and Snug to Kettering to catch the ferry to Bruny island. Bruny island is another national park which has more amazing beaches & sights. A quick lunch, a drive, a walk thru temperate rainforest & some homemade ice-cream & we return to catch the ferry back to Hobart. While walking we come across my favourite beach ever, covered with stone stacks & I cannot resist adding mine to the collection.
On return to Hobart we check back into the Bates motel, complete with knife holed shower curtains, blood stained shower basin & we head off into town for Hobart’s best fish & chips. We sit next to a lovely elderly gentleman coincidently named Jeff. No, i was not sitting opposite a mirror!!
He is alone & very chatty telling us about life in Hobart. Fortunately for us he spent much of his life in Melbourne, our next destination, so we take advantage & ask about Melbourne & we get some good advice & tips to get the best of our time in Melbourne. The fish & chips are very good.
An early start tomorrow means an early night for us oldies. We have enjoyed Tasmania, much slower than the mainland & a very different feel but a naturally stunning place. A must visit place & we wish that we had longer here. If you like nature, walking, beautiful beaches, amazing countryside & a relaxed environment then visit Tasmania. You will not regret it.
Love & stone stacked hugs...
Jeff & Janet
