Tasmania day 4/5

Every trip comes to an end. I had a bit of an extended trip after being at the airport on Monday morning and realizing that I had booked the pm and not the am flight. Well, as some airlines can't easily move you onto a different flight and you rather need to buy a new ticket we stayed the whole Monday in Hobart and enjoyed our extra day there. I bought a new book and we were sitting in cafes reading. #1/3 On Sunday we drove back to Hobart along the east coast of Tasmania...

Tasmania Day 2

On the second day we drove to Bruny Island which was a bit of the highlight of the whole trip for me. It is an hour south of Hobart and after we missed the first ferry I am glad we didn't drive further but waited to enter this wonderful island and discover it. Some bits of Tasmania somehow reminded me to Ireland and Sweden maybe because the weather is a lot cooler than on the mainland and also because of the wonderful green fields, trees and bushes. What I remember...

Something new in the neighbourhood

A couple of weeks ago the infamous Bourke Street Bakery opened up a cafe in our neighborhood. When we past their new cafe on the opening day it turned out that they gave out everything for free - we got one of their really tasty caraway breads and min tarts. The bread was delicious with the minestrone we had made that night. How has your week been so far?There have been so many music announcements lately and I am getting really excited about the great bands which will...
