Hi Folks,
Our day off today. That didn't stop us from doing a few little bits and pieces before we hit the road to Richmond with Tatiana, Jimmy and Melody in the back seat.
We arrived at Richmond around lunchtime and agreed to meet back at the car at 3pm. Susan and I went and had lunch at cafe followed by coffee. We then started a tour of the shops. Richmond is an old established town with structures dating back to the 1820's. it claims to have the oldest bridge in Australia at 1823. Aside from a dozen or so old dwellings including a gaol the rest of the town is tourist shops.
Susan purchased a smart wool jacket and me some socks. Before we had explored too much the kids were on the phone indicating they were ready to go. They of course didn't spend an hour having lunch. By the time we sauntered back it was twenty to three.
We took a spin into Hobart over the bridge and drove around the city block before heading back out over the bridge and to Cambridge where the parking is much friendlier. We had a half hour shopping stop where everybody bought something before heading down the well worn trail to Sorell and back to Nubeena. Since the kids were asleep we took the liberty of heading to Remarkable Cave and waking them up when we arrived. We spent some time admiring the views before heading back to the resort.
Ilan has acquired a new goat to replace Zeus. This one is a sister to Ella our remaining goat.
It was then on to another delicious shared tea and hence back to our room to refresh ourselves for tomorrows labours. We have 40 school kids coming next week for 2 nights and three meals each day so preparation has to be done.
Cheers Simon
