Returned from Tasmania today, after a very pleasant taxi journey with a stunning view!

Anyway, got to Hobart and had a look around the town and down to the docks for a wonder. Headed back to the hostel after a short time because was so tired and slept in preparation for tour that was starting very early next morning!

Tour started in Hobart and we headed to Lake St Claire and also did alot of little walks to see various waterfalls, which were all very beautiful. Stayed on lake in Tullah and went out on the lake in the morning, then went quad biking on the sand dunes - which was a definate highlight!! Also went fishing in the afternoon but to be honest I had forgotten how boring fishing was!! Definately not for me!

Anyway, next day climbed Cradle Mountin and when i say climbed it was literally rock climing but without the ropes! It took 6 hours and even though I was slapping on the factor 30 I still managed to get burnt on my face and shoulders! Nevermind, it was worth it for the view - amazing!

Met a really nice bunch of people and will def meet up with a couple again, one guy will be in sydney with me so that will be nice. On last night - again due to an STA muck up I ended up staying in Devonport where the trip stoped off and getting a cab in the morning to Launceston. Didn't mind in the end cos had a good night out with all the guys from the tour and a great cab journey the next morning - with head pounding! I have never seen anything like this pub that we went to - pure comedy! Lots of very interesting characters!

Anyway had better go
