Walking tours

Did a cutesy little walking tour of Hobart. Met a girl on the tour who is also in my hostel so was nice talking with her.

Our guide was really nice and is thinking of going to england in a few months. She wanted to live and work in London but I may have accidentally convinced her not too. I didnt intend too but she didnt seem to mind too much. I just said there was more to see than just London.

We met at another cute park which I loved. We walked past a pretty house which does tours that show the lives of the servants in Hobart. Might do that tour later on.

We also walked past the old hospital and up to Battery Point. Saw the amazing view of Kunyani from the Battery Point road.

Then down to one of the oldest and grandest buildings in Hobart. This was built by a guy who used to run the whaling ships. From this position he could see over the entire city, river and docks. Up the top of the building he would sit in his office and watch everything that his employees were doing. Sounds kinda creepy but it was effective. It is also supposed to be haunted and they used to do ghost tours as well. So might do that at some point.

The down to Salamanca and saw the steps I had walked up yesterday. Turns out these were built by a guy who was sick of walking all around the headland and decided he would build some. He had some spare land so just built them. Love it.

We finished the tour at the parliament gardens and the boat of to Mona.Leggi altro
