Tasmania - Trip Day 6

At ard 9pm, we reached Melbourne airport to catch our domestic flight to Hobart, Tasmania. There was ard nearly to an hour flight delay for our flight due to some technical issue. We heard an annoucement later that it was due to some fault with the pilot's chair. This is considered a technical issue?! Sheesh! Such a waste of our time.


While waiting for the so-called technical glitch to be resolved. Manz! I am FAT!!

Being the first day of CNY, all of us were wearing something red that day to get ourselves in the festive mood. hehe!

We reach Tasmania around 11. We then head out to the Barilla Oyster Farm which was like 5 mins drive from the airport. This oyster farm was featured by some channel 8 travel show ("ming xing dao you") so I guess its pretty well-known! We were suppose to have our lunch there and maybe look at the oyster farm. But guess what? NO OYSTERS!!! I mean no fresh oysters! why? because its spawning season! *FAINT*.. such luck we have.

Calamari. this is good.


Clam Chowder. MMmmm!!! thick and nice.


Pasta Marinara. Loads of seafood! The best! Love the fat juicy mussels.

After lunch, its time for our next destination. The Tahune Airwalk. We really love the sceneries of Tasmania when on the road. Its really beautiful. The waters are so blue and calm. And the mountainous background makes it even more gorgeous. Its unlike the usual view we see on the road which is mostly fields and vineyards.












This is taken by Casio Camera.. Love the deep blue colours!!!

Did I mention that Tasmania was really cold? I mean I was not prepared for the weather with my normal jacket. So when the winds blows, I was like freezing!! I really cant stand cold!! Thank goodness, the rest have an extra windbreaker. The weather was like Melbourne, where it was hot like sg.

Everytime after a strenous walk... there's always a food reward!



Next stop was Mt Wellington. "The Mountain" of Hobart City. We went right to the top of the mountain which is about 1271m above sea level. The wind was ice freezing cold!!! N I was wearing slippers instead of covered shoes. I felt like my toes are about to drop off!! Haha!! Really awesome view from the top though.




Frozen smiles.

Due to some fault of my SD card, did not manage to take any pics of our accomodation of the day. We stayed in Hobart city. The streets were not that quiet towards the night.

We had nandos for dinner that night.
