Our first stop was the Sorell Fruit Farm. Yes, we have a craze for fruits picking. The fruits that were in season at that time was cherries and strawberries. Normally, at this time of the year, we will have missed the cherry season. However, because of the cooler weather of Tasmania, it seems like the season is like 2 months behind that of Melbourne and Perth. So excited! Enuff of strawberries, its time to get our hands dirty for cherries!
We were picking blood red cherries!
artistic anot? keke
cherries anyone?
cherry trees/ bushes. Anyway, there went much cherries left in this bushes to pick. We then headed to the area with really tall cherry trees.
The most beautiful cherries were those right on top of the tree (where most pple cant reach them of cause). We dragged down some branches and even climbed one or 2 trees to get to them. Shhh!!!
see how much taller these trees are.
we picked a bit of strawberries jus for the fun of it. These strawberries were as beautiful, large, juicy and sweet like the one we picked @ Melbourne. Some were even sour. Bleahz!
ice cream!!! i saw the shop was selling ice cream and asked for one! Their ice cream was absolutely heavenly. creamy milky taste!! Mine was strawberry. BC's one was blueberry!! the blueberry was so so good!! I kinda miss the ice cream now! :(
couldnt resist taking some beautiful scenery pics while on the road.
Next stop was freycinet oyster farm. Sounds really cool. we were hoping to have a better luck with oysters this time round. When we reach there, we realised the so-called farm is jus a small hut selling oysters. Geez! wat farm! Well.. they did had oysters. Really small ones though. Reason? Spawning season. Those oysters they have are those that are unable to "spawn" apparently. Geez! Nevetheless we did have some. Fresh oysters are really salty! I thot they were pretty ok. But Gary said china has really good, cheap big and really juicy oysters. geez. Jealous!
Third stop was at Coles Bay for lunch.
Beautiful!
baby mussels found on the rocks.
Lunch was yet again... Fish n chips... HAHA! Still not good enuff for us. Bleahz! Not a single good fish n chips this time round. keke!
Then its time to head to Bicheno for our accomodation!! I love this accomodation the best!! Its huge! Its new! It has everything! Its beautiful! It has a fireplace! It has a beautiful view! N It is near the beach!!!! When i grow old and retire, I wan a beach house like that! Its so beautiful.. that we dread the next day where we have to leave it for another. Oh! n it has 4 toilets! the other accomodation we stayed all only had one! so troublesome when we have 6 pple!!
The beach infront of our house! the waves are really strong here. There were about 3-5 pple surfing there. Boy... must b cold.
Having fun with the icy cold water...
We had an early home cooked dinner at our accomodation. We got a penguin tour at 9pm that night. This tour is more exciting than the one we had at Phillips island back in Melbourne. We were allowed to take pictures(without flash of course) and then the penguins are really close to us! So within reach.. no barriers... a couple of them even ran past my feet. hehe! so exciting! Only thing the tour is done in darkness.. except for a couple of torch light shown by the guides. ALso, the weather is even much colder in the night. Brrr! freezing our butt off...
its really difficult to take pics in the night with no light with my camera. But we did manage a few shots when the guide shined his torchlight at some penguins near us. This tour was totally worth it.
Feeding...
many many many.......
The best shot we got!
N then its back to our warm n cosy apartment......
we tried to keep ourselves awake with nachos and movies as we wanna spend more time with this beautiful house for the next day, we b leaving.. hehe! wierdo us.
So that ends day 7.... few more days left...
