Tasmania Day 3
Ok Day 3 finally.....
We are still in Hobart, Tasmania. A sunday. And we headed to the visitor centre in Hobart city because we have booked a bicycle trip from Mt Wellington.
Reached there around 9:30am. Wait and wait. Why? Because something cocked up on the organiser's side. Their transport broke down somewhere or something like that. Good thing they provided a cab to bring us up Mt Wellington, about 1200m upwards.
Organisers reach the summit shortly too, with the bikes. We were suited up with extra jackets, helmets and optional gloves.
Summit very windy. It seem to pierce into your bones and make u feel so darn cold. After all the prep, all good to go, we started our descent from the top. This trip will take us from the top and back to the city.
A very fast ride, downhill, no need break any sweat. until one section where we went off-road. Even ST went in and conquered it!!
We went round and round. Then we reached Cascade Brewery, which is located just at the foot of the mountain. Had some drinks and tim tam biscuit, before we resume cycling, this time on the roads, towards the city.
Very fun cycling trip indeed! Returned the equipment and we were on our way to find lunch. Guess what we had??????
No not her........try again
we had..........Fish and chips......again. Anyway we finished the lunch. And we need to think of where to go. Because we are too efficient in our travelling (or inefficient in planning). We finish our planned places to visit.
We ended up at the Tasmania Botanical Gardens, where we saw the fierce guard.
Cows laying lazily on the green pastures
A lazy afternoon in the park, enjoying the lovely sun and breeze. Watching the locals having picnic, kids playing. Visited the japanese gardens, subantartic plants section. I find it abit boring though, but we ran out of ideas on where to go :( and the botanical garden seems to be the only place of interest at that time.
Dinner was spanish food. Thankfully something different from fish and chips. My first time having spanish food. Must say the taste is rather unique.
And that was the 3rd Day
Day 1 here
Day 2 here
(lazy put pics already. Wanna sleep:p)
