Tasmania 8/1/2008
8/1 Tuesday
After an early checkout, we drove round to Port Arthur once more to wait for it to open. It is remarkable that no one asked to see our tickets and we wandered around the site, in relatively peace and quiet. We had seen all the major buildings before the cruise over to the Isle of Died. There was some attractive scenery around. The walk and talk around the island was very interesting and entertaining.
Having finished at Port Arthur, I drove over to Hobart, via the little town of Richmond, which had the oldest bridge in Australia. It probably looks better if there was more water in the river. We had tea and cake before continuing on to Hobart.
Had a little difficulty finding the hotel, again the location in Google and therefore my GPS, was inaccurate. After a short walk, we found the hotel and drove over. The room was a long walk from the reception.
After a shower, we set out to find somewhere for dinner. We decided on a Greek restaurant in Salamanac Square and sat outside, which was nice until the sun went down. The food was good, although the service was very slow and it got rather cold later in the evening.
Took a long way back to the hotel, to try and find a convenience shop to get some milk but failed to find one.
