Tassie Tour Journal Day 6
Fantastic sleep-in this morning. (Mental note: don’t get used to them!) Mt Wellington is tall. Mt Wellington is colder the higher you get. Mt Wellington is great. (That was a Haiku if you stretch the rules to 6 syllables/ 12 syllables/ 6 syllables.)
Last Friday I said that there’s no traffic in Tasmania. Now that we’re staying in Hobart – there is some traffic – but not much. It only takes 10 minutes to get right out of the city into Sticksville. That’s pretty cool. Lunch was yum at Home House Winery.
Dinner was yum back in Hobart.
TV sucks. It’s been fun watching a bit each night, but we’re glad we don’t own a TV. A Current Affairs and Today Tonight are funny. I’m not sure they are supposed to be comedic. Laugh. ABC is by far the best channel on Australian TV. We’ve seen some interesting docos and stuff. Hobart is brilliant by night. Don’t get stuck in front of TV. Enjoyed coffee and dessert at Maldini’s at Salamanca. We were the only 20 somethings without trendy mullets.

Did you guys see the tree lights in Salamanca? If they haven't taken them down yet... Pretty nice little set up there. Maldini's is nice, there's heaps of cafes there to choose from. top

I helped put up those lights initially, it was one of my first jobs. And yes the streets are very english, with Hobart being the 2nd oldest aussie city its pretty quaint in some parts. Just off Salamanca there is Kelly St, which is where the old Frente song 'Accidentally Kelly Street' comes from.
I love the place, but i'm happier living out of it right now. Recommend it to anyone to visit. Awesome surf, food, drink, and outdoors stuff. top
