Hi Folks,
Our day off today and a belated exit from the resort due to last minute hitches. We finally left at 1045. Susan had for the first time in a while splashed on some make up causing fan fan to remark her eyes looked like toys. She meant dolls eyes.
Our first stop was the chocolate factory at Taranna for some treats, followed by the fruit & veg market at Sorell since it closes at 6pm. On to Cambridge and Harvey Norman where we exchanged our slightly malfunctioning coffee machine for a complete new one even though we had been using this for nearly a month. A bit of a wait at the loading dock meant my trip to Hobart for some more discount boots was canned and we drove straight to Oatlands. The town is ancient by Australian standards dating back to the 1820's. It boasts the only functioning windmill for producing flour in the southern hemisphere. The main street is of historic appearance although with the state of desertion evident today it looked a little bit spooky. We had lunch at the cafe of the Casaveen Woolshop. The cafe was good food and very reasonable priced . The wool shop was expensive. Susan bought a scarf with a voucher she won while attending the cheesemaking course some months ago.
After that while i wandered the streets Susan ventured to a retro shop and bought an outfit for her grand daughter. We departed and headed back to Sorell to purchase food,fuel and beer. A phone call to the resort indicated there was no community dinner so we had delicious wood fired pizzas at Heat in Sorell. There were a couple of the best pizzas we have had in a long long time!
We returned to the resort to find they did have a dinner.
The spa was looking a lot better than this morning so we both had one before retiring to our room.
It's windy as buggery here tonight so looks like rain and wind tomorrow. No guests in which is just as well as there is a lot to do to get the cafe ready for the new operators tomorrow.
night folks
Cheers Simon
