Day 22
Halligalli in Hobart
October 30 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
Im Melbourner Flughafenshuttle wurde uns gesagt, dass Hobart offenbar ein „Little New Zealand in Australia“ sei. Zwar steht unsere Neuseelandreise erst bevor, aber nach dem 1. Tag können wir uns gut vorstellen, dass es stimmt. Denn nach Melbourne, eine Stadt voller Wolkenkratzer, ist Hobart eine große Abwechslung. Es gibt viele kleinere und vor allem auch ältere Häuser, die vor allem Nina an England oder sogar Amsterdam erinnern 🇪🇺

Ohne konkretes Ziel sind wir heute quer durch Hobart gewandert, begonnen im Stadtzentrum, über die (leider am Mittwoch geschlossenen) Salamanca Markets bis in die historische Nachbarschaft Battery Point, die für ihre schönen Häuser bekannt ist 🏡

Mittags gab es eine Stärkung in einem Kaffee und anschließend ging die Wanderung weiter an der Waterfront von Hobart. Eigentlich stand auch noch ein Besuch der botanischen Gärten Plan, der jedoch aufgrund einer privaten Veranstaltung im Park auf morgen verschoben wurde 🌳Read more

Day 129
Working once more
January 31, 2023 in Australia
Started work today. It was good. Simple but everyone seems to get along which is nice. Had a bit of an issue with one of my colleagues. They are incredibly intense with everything and didnt seem to understand that I did know what I am doing. But I held my tongue and let them boss me about. They seemed to be doing it with everyone so at least it's not just me.

Made myself overnight oats for breakky. Very nice.

Then had to do laundry. Not a vibe.

Not only was it $8 and hour to rent the room, the machines took at least 30mins each. But the machine lies. The 30min wash was 40. Which left me with less than 20 to dry. Needless to say that wasnt long enough. So the less glamorous side of travelling became my only choice. Drying my clothes around my room. RIP.

Now I know I could have let it dry and just paid the $16, but $16 a week is not ok. $8 I am used to and willing to do. Not twice that for machines that barely work anyways.

On my way to work I spotted this cool motorcycle. The owner offers scenic rides up Kunyani on it. So cool.Read more
Traveler glad you are working again xx

Day 125
Day out in Hobart
January 27, 2023 in Australia ⋅ 🌙 18 °C
Ok, imma be honest with you. I did like nothing today.

I had no intention of doing anything so I was pleased. One of the people on my tour suggested a cafe I could go to for coffee. The coffee was cheap and fancy. A weird mix and I didnt really like it. I wont be going back there I dont think. They also didnt have wifi and I like to do work/plan while I drink my coffee.

Then I went for a bit of a walk. Wandered through the Salamanca markets and up to Battery Point where I found a little park. There seems to be lots of parks across the city, little half blocks of grass and trees.

I then wanted some food so I went and found a different cafe. Again no wifi but they had a really nice sandwich for only $9. Toasted salmon and avocado, very nice. It is also right next to my new job so will probably be going there again.

Then just went back to my hostel and needed a bit of a sleep. Didnt sleep but just relaxed. Watched some TV and made some food.

An easy end to and easy day.Read more

Day 9
Cradle Mountain to Hobart Day 9
February 5 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
Up, packed and on the road by 7.30am, our earliest start since arriving in Tasmania. We wanted to get to the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) at a reasonable time then get to the hotel at a good time.
We stopped at Sheffield for breakfast (pies... again!).
Got to MONA at about 12.30pm and left about 2.30pm. We all loved MONA. It was raunch, quirky, with an eclectic array of art. We finished off our visit with beer/icecreams.
We piled back into the Thrifty van and arrived back in Hobart at 3pm, checking into the Lenna of Hobart Hotel.
Staying in another amazing hotel. This one was built in the mid 1800s and is chock full of beautiful old features.Read more

Hobart
January 31 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
Arrived in Tasmania and spent a relaxing morning walking around Hobart. It isn't that big and not loads to see, but it just seemed relaxing and quiet, it was nice.

Shout out to the cool sniffer dog at the airport looking for people bringing food into Tasmania.Read more

Day 12
Arthur Circus
January 8, 2021 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
We are in Battery Point, one of the oldest parts of Hobart, just down the road from our hotel, Lenna of Hobart.

Like Piccadilly Circus in London, Arthur Circus is a roundabout but this is the most beautiful one I have seen. This site was purchased in 1829 by Governor George Arthur.Read more

Hobart to Peppermint Bay day cruise and
January 28 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
Today was spent on the water.
A wonderful trip to Peppermint Bay. The boat stopped along the way for us to see the cliffs, salmon farms, and light house.
This was followed by a delicious lunch at Peppermint Bay restaurant 😋
On our return to Hobart, we decided to try our luck one more time to see a platypus in the wild with no luck once again ☹️Read more
