So the final nights of our trip were delightful to visit our holiday home of Seville where we farmsit a couple of times a year. Ave and Jane were in Tasmania at much the same time as us so we sat and compared our relative holidays and so forth. Then onto Stanley where the girls were happy to see us after our overseas holiday although still waiting for the postcard that we sent on our first day four weeks previously...grrrr Australia Post.
Then home to our jungle via a visit to Mama who misses us on our jaunts. On arrival my goodness the lawns were up to our knees, the pool green, the VegMahal and taken off and lots of vegies lost due to rain damage and going to seed. Seventeen inches in three week period and bouts of sunshine just made it all go mad. It has taken Wally a good three weeks to get our paddock nearly back to some kind of order but we leave again in a week so we will begin again mid May.


SO OUR FACTS:
Kms travelled: 5418 approx
Fuel cost: $610
Fuel used: 451 litres
Most expensive fuel: Diesel was 149.9 at Tarraleah (although did see 170.5 at Strathgordon)
Cheapest fuel: Approx $130.9
Boat cost: $538 return ($65 for each of us, plus $50 for recliners, and 89 for the car each way)
Accommodation cost: $2912
Most expensive accommodation: Smithton, Island Spa Cottage, house on a cliff top, lovely
Best accommodation and cheapest: Hobart, Mountain Retreat Cottage with Andrew and Molly and Blu, the dog - all delightful, every thing you could possibly want or need and beautiful views and modern comfortable spot 12 minutes from CBD of Hobart.
Worst accommodation: Scamander, Ocean View Cottage - hah not at all and absolutely no facilities for a self contained unit. As in nothing to cook with in the stove or microwave. Very uncomfortable lounge, daggy towels, low bed, just blerch.
Best Tour: Strahan Harbour Cruise on the Harbour Master, always a great one.
Best bit for me: I loved the walk we did out of Meina at the Pencil Pine Walk, random out of the way place not touristy but just a walk shown on a small sign on the side of the road but so beautiful, thousands of years in the making from the Gwandana days.

So ends another adventure and the next one starts on Thursday 27th April till 19th May approx. I will continue on this blog so I can contain all the information into one book at the end of the year, always good for Alzheimer Brains to find the name of a place or where we stayed etc. in the future.
Love to all as always.
