Day 10 - Touring Hobart


Now THIS is a View that I don't think I would ever tire of waking up to!

Sunrise over Constitution Dock and River Derwent.  



9:00 am and we were already at Our first Stop for today.

The Botanical Gardens and with Maps in hand...

We set off to explore on our own.

It was a beautiful morning and happily strolled the pathways.

(Finding some delicious Tassie 
Ice-cream to quietly enjoy made it Perfect!)


Morning Tea appeared from 'Beneath the Bus' at a Local Park. 
 
Giving us time to get that all Important (but not very good)  Group Photo, and catch our breath before heading off to ...

The Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary.
We had a Guided Tour and informative talk on their Rescue & Rehabilitation program. 

-This is their resident Tasmanian Devil.  Unfortunately she is Blind and won't be able to be released.

After Lunch we returned to Hobart and a Walking Tour of the Towns Historic Buildings.

Walking for me is fine but, standing around listening to the local guide is when my back gave out on me and I had to pull out of the tour.  We hadn't even left the Hotel foyer.

I rested until I could walk again and saw that the group was still only at the next corner!
We decided to do some sightseeing at our own pace.


Whereas we choose not to drink, Our Son is partial to a good Whisky.  
And seeing that one of his favourite Brands comes from Hobart, we thought we'd check them out on his behalf.

I did have the idea we could bring him home something you could ONLY get from the Cellar Door.
But a $400 souvenir that he may not even like - was way over the budget.

We did get him a beautiful Crystal Whisky glass and a Free Coaster!


Well, that sums up today -

We were all looking forward to Dinner.
They had a bad night last night with problems in most dishes. Unfortunately, tonight was no different.
To be honest, We have had better meals at The training Restaurant at our local TAFE.

Anyway - Tomorrow is our last Full Day and an Adventure awaits!
