Black Prince Hotel Hobart

... There are mostly only small towns in Tassie and I'm not sure that Ida Bay even really classifies as a town.
There is a big cave just north of Ida Bay that you can pay heaps of money to go into but that cave is part of a huge system underground. Most of the cave entrances in Tassie are vertical but I searched online and found a cave a few miles away from there which seemed like an 'easy' cave. We decided that it would ...

... I wasn't planning on sticking with it for longer then a week but somehow I stayed for 6... I blame it on my co workers. I made a lot of amazing friends which kept me with it, and sometimes it could be very entertaining. You wouldn't believe half the things people say to a stranger at the door.

Sydney is a beautiful city! The people are a lot more "posh". I definitely didn't feel like I fit in with my jeans and a hoodie, but all that meant was that ...

... accustomed to driving on the left-hand side of the road. We were pros at this by the time we left New Zealand after owning a car there for 3 months, but it's been 9 years since then. (Yeah, that's right, 9!). Dan did the driving; Melanie, in addition to navigating, had the all-important job of reminding Dan to stay in the left lane, turn into the left lane, stay left, STAY LEFT!!! Actually, we picked it up again quite quickly, and by the second day it was pretty ...

... to Hob*rt, mostly *bout we could do in Melbourne when we got there. Arriving into Hob*rt *bout 40 minutes l*ter, we checked into Centr*l City B*ckp*ckers for the night. By this st*ge it l*te in the evening &*mp; knowing ne*rly everywhere in Hob*rt would be shut, we decided to try &*mp; cook up some dinner with wh*tever food we h*d &*mp; wh*tever we could find in the free food shelf in the hostel kitchen – * re*l che*p *rse b*ckp*cker me*l! The result w*s * mix of tun ...

... are true environmentalists. When we got back, we made supper and played a bit of scrabble, as the hostel doesn't have television, internet, or a phone for that matter. You really feel like you've stepped back into the 1950's when you're there. Most of the magazines they had lying around are at least 20 years old....add to this the heavy fog, strange animals and insects and I think you have a really good setting for a horror flic...but it was fun! Yesterday ...

... Bicheno, so we walked along the riverside and poked around the "Centre for Beer Lovers" set up at the brewery. We sorted out our other bus tickets, then back to the hostel for lunch and to get our bags. Luckily, since we knew where we were going, the walk seemed much shorter. In Bicheno for the evening, we got a dinner of fish and chips to eat on the beach. I was so content just lying there listening to the waves crashing- there is no better sound to my ears. It was way ...

Hobart had a little more life about it compared to up the coast so it was time to get out to see what the town had to offer, which wasn't much to be honest, don't get me wrong we got to go to a few nice enough bars but it was just kinda quiet. Headed down to the main area the first night and the good oul Irish bar was good for a pint and then it was next door to the more happening pub of the area. The second night we got a massive feed in the Irish bar cause we were ...

... dishes and glasses crashing to the floor! After breakfast we were scheduled to report to the Australian immigration authorities who reviewed our passports, visas and entry forms. Fortunately they changed the venue to a room where we didn't have wait on a stairway and had a rail to hang onto while the ship was pitching. By noon, the seas calmed somewhat and we returned to the dining room for a beautiful lunch buffet. In the afternoon, we attended ...

... touring around, in the downtown harbour area known as Victoria, we stumbled on some wonderful bronze sculptures that included seals, penguins, tazzie devils, and a commemorative display that included cross-country skis. Our second day started off with a drive up to Bonorong Wildlife park where we were able to walk among the free ranging wallabies & kangaroos, see the elusive Tasmanian Devil, get close to Koalas (to pet, not hold), see the wombat ...

... primer dia que llegamos, y los muchos banios en el pozon de un rio que queda dentro del mismo terreno. Otra vez cocinando a lenia, y cuidando el agua, pero tengo que decir que al campamento no le faltaba de nada, podemos catalogarlo como un campamento Gourmete ( no se como se escribe! ) donde habia entrada, picadita, cervezas todas las que quieras a cualquier hora del dia ( no es mi estilo, pero si definitivamente el Australiano! ) y una buena alimentacion a base de verduras variadas ...
