Devonport

So ends the last night on our familymoon. We packed up early and checked out of our accommodation and headed into Hobart for a visit to Salamanca Market. Parking was an absolute nightmare, as was the number of people at the markets. The market was just like a traditional street market. Store holders selling their wares, pop up stands for everything from crafwares and woodwork, to spirits, wines and foods of different cultures.
After the markets, we made our way out of town and the drive to Devonport.
We did stop for lunch at Ross, which is a cute town with a very colonial feel. It has a lot of old buildings and still had a very strong early colonial feel about it. Here, it didn't take much to imagine what it would have looked like in colonial days and, if you were to removed the bitumen road, it would still fit in quite well with its colonial origins.
After lunch we continued on the road and made good time to Devonport, where we took Millie to the beach and she go to choose some nice rocks for her class. Then we went for dinner and a few drinks at a pub before joining the queue and boarding the Spirit of Tasmania home, but not before we went for a hairy monster attack to get all the dirt and any contaminants off the car (ie. carwash) before returning to the mainland.Baca lagi
