Historical Ramblings

Tasmania!

Last Thursday we departed our comfortable and homey apartment and boarded a plane to the small island of Tasmania, a short flight from Melbourne. We arrived in Hobart, the capital of the state and a beautiful oceanside town. We spent three days in Hobart, exploring the enormous Saturday Salamanca markets and eating an enormous amount of the best fish & chips I've ever had. On Sunday we explored a nearby pensiula, stopping at an apple museum and picking organic cherries along the way, and Monday involved a tour at the Cadbury Chocolate Factory and a Ghost Tour at Port Arthur.

We're on the way up the coast now, so more to come later!
