    Freycinet NP - Wineglass Bay

    26 maja 2023, Australia ⋅ 🌬 8 °C

    Today we left Bicheno and it's beautiful sunrise behind to go further south in the direction of Hobart.
    Our goal for today: Wandering Freycinet National Park.
    So we drove through the brilliant landscape that Tasmanian East Coast is until we arrived.
    We took the Wineglass Bay Lookout route which took about 40min and was a steep way up up the hill. The vegetation is just brilliant. So weird but atmospheric.
    We stopped to catch some breath along the way, but finally, we got there. It was so beautiful.
    In the 19th century, that bay was used to hunt whales down and because of all the blood in the water, from above, it looked like a wineglass - therefore the name. Luckily, these times are over.
    As we had more than enough time, we headed down to the Wineglass Bay Beach, which again was a steep way, but now downwards. But the way was totally worth it, the place was fantastic. Unfortunately, we had to go back without much time to enjoy it. So we wandered off, blushing all over from the walk. Thank goodness, it wasn't that hot!
    And this again was worth it, because as we arrived at the car park, a Wallaby was strolling around our coach behind some bushes.
    After everyone arrived back from their walks, we headed off to Devil's Corner, a restaurant and winery with lots of sheep around. We tasted some wine (my fav was the Sparkling White Wine) and ate loads of delicious pizza.
    When everyone's tummy was full, we drove off towards Hobart.
