Day 25 04-03-16 Think I have lost a day in the air !! As we were coming to land with only about 30 seconds before whels touched down a woman decided to move seats.. The cabin crew shouted at her to sit down, but smiling she casually walked over to a different set of seats across the middle of the plane, told a guy to move across (she must have known him) He looked astounded but quickly undid his seat belt moved across into the next seat and put the belt o...

Day 24 Pennicott Wilderness Tour - Bruny Island After all crawling off to bed at silly hours, from 8pm for a couple people, we all showered and had an early night!

They had a fairly clear drive and arrive at about 10:45, even having ha...
