We awoke at Strathgordon to torrential rain and erchhy grey skies so different to yesterday when the temp got to 28 and I was sunburnt, oh well it has been good whilst it lasted. Left our cabin and drove for about 2 hours to Hamilton for a disgusting coffee, why can't people get it right when trying to run a business in a small really tiny village and we try to spend our tourist dollar with them and they serve garbage. Anyway continued on towards Hobart going thru some lovely countryside, well it would have been in nicer weather, although had stopped raining still very grey. Decided to stop at Pontville in a beautiful old pub at the Bushrangers Bistro. Lovely juicy crumbed scallops and potato bake, very dead vegies though. The town has been overtaken by approx. 600 Winnebagoes and motor homes - strange band of people as they rally a couple of times a year for a week and spend the week communing and then depart...hmmm not our cup of tea. Then on into Hobart, with the help of IKE we found our AirBnB abode up in the hills behind Hobart about 8 kms away but so private. Lovely studio apartment and surrounded by trees and bush with chooks and Blu the dog who wont talk to us yet.
Off to Maria Island tomorrow, leaving at 7 am and back about 7 pm so will be back on when I can. No photos today at all but you got lots in the last days. I may have those out of order but it is hard to catch up after 4 days. Live with it people. Mwah. xxx Thanks JR and KJ for caring we were disappeared and found again. xxxx
