Hi Folks,
Our day off! Started with a spa and some housekeeping before we left for Hobart at 11:00. Susan decided we would have lunch at Barilla Bay an oyster farm with a restaurant just before Sorell. The food was good although I thought the main courses were a tad on the small side but that's just me! We had a mixed dozen of 3 different types of oysters for entree. Followed by Atlantic salmon for Susan and Seafood Laksa for me. Laksa is one of the dishes we could and should prepare at the resort for the communal dinner as long as we can cater for the vegans and seafood allergists.
We then proceeded into Hobart to the Northern suburb of Derwent Bridge where i visited Jaycar to pick up some driver bits.
I have said it before but the road system around Hobart is crap and today was no different, narrow roads clogged with traffic.
We proceeded to the city centre and parked in good old Elizabeth Street for $1.40 an hour. Susan visited the beauty parlor for a quick wax job and we then perused the shops. Susan focused on a secondhand book shop one of the better ones I have seen and ended up spending $40. The rest of the afternoon was spent in outdoor shops with nothing bought to justify the time. Sometimes it is good to just kick the tyres.
We drove around to the Village Cinema complex however there was nothing suitable in the normal section. The Kings Speech was in gold class but at $23 a throw we wandered up the street to a Vietnamese Restaurant and spent $60 on a nice tea. Then it was back to Sorell for coffee at Maccas if they hadn't turned their machine off. Well it was late all of 9 o'clock! The Wood fired pizza place supplied coffee and hot chocolate and with Susan at the wheel and me driving the laptop we set off down the well worn track back home in light rain.
Unfortunately we dispatched our first road kill (of the mammal variety) since we started travelling last year with Susan at the wheel, a smallish wallaby. The rest of the journey passed without incident.
Bed time folks!
Cheers
Simon
