I tried to book a tour to visit the wineries of the north of the island as I did not want to rent a car and drive while I was testing the wine and I could not get any place to join a group: everything was sold out... the only one who accept I, requested me 160 AusDollard... a little too much for a day of degustation. So I chilled out in my guesthouse and in the street of Launceston.
I went in the afternoon to drink a beer and read a book in a pub and I met the only not so nice Taz of this Tasmanian trip: I started me saying that we lost the 2nd world war and that we could have done the french nuclear test in an other place than Mururoa... well. I did not want to discuss and as I understood only 1 word of 3 due to his strong Taz accent: was better to not say anything. He must has consider that I was one more arrogant french... This discussion was so exceptional that I had to mention it but all the other Taz are just very kind in all the way: saying hello in the street trying to help you all the time. To be short, I know now that I would like to come back to discover a little deeply this gorgeous island.
In the night I return to Melbourne in Lisa and Sam house and enjoy the evening with them.
