Hi Folks,
A slow start to the day for me. I don't know what possessed me to drink straight southern comfort last night. "There's no fool like an old fool he's more experienced"
Anyway after an enormous bowl of porridge and coffee and Susan's stint on reception from 8 till 9, we hit the road under sunny skies to Hobart. After a stop at Cambridge for some shopping we parked at the botanical gardens. Fancying a nice lunch we entered the restaurant at 230 but it was closed forcing us to have some average premade rolls at the kiosk. After coffee and scones back in the restaurant we toured and were impressed. A good variety of plants well laid out and with some very nice touches.
Susan then drove us to the casino since she was thinking we should have dinner in the revolving restaurant. We rode to the 17th floor and checked out the menu. After a budgetry discussion we booked and took a stroll back towards Battery Point. Some nice houses and views. I was intrigued by a large metal cut out sign proclaiming 1909. In the small print it was explained it was the year of Errol Flynn's birth at Battery Point in 1909.
The dinner at the restaurant was everything you would expect. Service was excellent, food was excellent, view was excellent. A nice treat, money well spent.
There just remained the drive back to Nubeena which apart from the Woollies petrol station at Sorell being closed and a trip into a bloody dark dunny at Dunalley (luckily i had a torch) for me, passed with out incident.
I have tomorrow off as well since i am now working 5 days a week. Hopefully the weather will be fine so i can do a walk.
night folks
cheers Simon
