Today's group at the resort. I am in an odd position as I had to rush to beat the camera timer!

Hi All,
Per the title we are in the Wrest Point Casino accommodation kindly paid for by the Resort at Parsons Bay.
The day started with goodbyes at the Resort to Weiting. Well not from us since we were taking her to Hobart. We headed off and had a few stops along the way to take advantage of the sunny weather for some tourist shots.
We did some resort chores popping up to PFD for foodstuffs and then headed to Mount Wellington arriving their without incident after ignoring the GPS totally. It seems to have a mental block where this location is concerned. We could see clouds around the peak but they appeared to be clearing. The peak was partially clouded and cold as evidenced by the remains of snowfall. Of course I was suitably attired in shorts like a silly tourist. We had a bit of fun larking around taking pictures and video before heading back to Hobart and dropping Weiting off at her couchsurfing venue. We said our sad goodbyes and Weiting gave us handmade friendship bands. We will miss her.
We journeyed to Wrest Point and settled into our room which was smaller than our one at the resort. However it was well appointed although the bed was a bit weird being two singles joined together to make a king. We adjourned to the bistro for a meal. My steak was excellent however Susan's spare ribs were a bit chewy. It was a pub grade meal price and quality wise. We wandered around and into the gaming area. This was not particularly bubbling with crowds and excitement. I was surprised that there was no craps table. Apparently they disappeared years ago in favour of poker. Of course it would have nothing to do with the fact that craps has the smallest margin in the favor of the house. The odds of winning for the player are 0.4975 as I recall. Just a bit of trivia for you. We spent the evening in our room chilling out it had free broadband so that's a bonus.
Tomorrow we are off to the airport to pick up our new helper.
Cheers Simon
