Day 6 we got up early, checked out of Launceston and headed for Hobart.
Famous Tassie Scallop Pie was consumed on route.
Hobart was obviously a lot different to Launceston. This huge bridge into Hobart really set the vibe.
Nath and his son Chris, how cute is he! – We parked at the wharf and walked over to Salamanca Place where Nath’s family was there to greet him.
The historics were on display in the park.
We then checked out the famous Salamanca Place markets which happen every Saturday. So nice to see different things to Sydney markets. Hobart was a lot more multicultural than Launceston, in some ways I instantly missed the cozy small town feel.
Succulents! I’m still itching to start my succulent garden.
Interesting kettle weights.
Later that afternoon Christina and I got a message from Nath to say, that for whatever reason, he had decided to leave our VWGolf.net.au Forum. That instantly got us on a bit of a downer, we were initially pretty confused about it, and the timing of it was pretty rotten as we were having such a great time and we were all still on a holiday together.
Later that night we (minus Nath who was hanging out with his family) had a killer steak at the Astor Grill – the boys thought it was better than the Black Cow in Launceston. I think maybe the cut of meat was better but the taste of the grill was better at the Black Cow for sure. I left my camera at the hotel unfortunately, so no pics!
