20 weeks in Sydney: 2 Weeks Break! (final part)

Ok, finally at the last part of the trip.

Went to Hobart, Tasmania for the final few days of the holiday, and i tot it was the best part of the whole trip. Probably fraser island will be as good as this if it hadn't rain so much haha.

I arrived there around mid day on tue, then spend the whole day relaxing, walking around the city and planning for the next day coz joe only reaching at night. so in the end we decided to go huon valley the next day, to do some bushwalking and see scenery. and we decided not to book any tour coz it was quite ex and we tot we can walk ourselves. we were so wrong. huon is such a small town that transport around the area is almost impossible without a car. there is only a bus frm hobart to huon at limited times of the day, and frm there, it is impossible to get to those places of attractions like the caves, mountains etc without a car or following a tour.

so we were like stuck at huon, go to the information centre oso not much use coz not much they can help haha. in the end we look for the nearest mountain frm there and took a cab there. hai, but then the taxi driver seem to drop us at the wrong place, and we ended up walking like 8km frm the place she drop us to the foot of the mountain lol. siong sia. the mountain is called mount misery, and its like a place for pple to go there relac lah, there are like campsites or houses built there for pple to rent for a few days. anyway, we climbed the mountain, and back down in like 2 hrs haha which is a bit shorter than the amt of time we walk there. nice.

the next day, we were back in hobart in the morning and went to a brewery tour in the afternoon. cascade brewery, the oldest brewery in australia haha. not a bad tour lah, then still got some free drinks. ohh and we ate lunch there too. joe ordered wallaby meat lol. actually it looked and taste like pork leg lah, hahaha we wun noe even if its not wallaby meat. so by the time it ended it was around 4 le, we just go n walk around the city and went back to hostel le. my day actually ended very early for the whole trip lah hahanothing much to do at night sia.

on fri, we went to mount wellington, its like a must go place if we are at hobart. tallest mountain in hobart. and we paid for transport up to the mountain. thank god we did that, coz as we walked down (took 2 hours), we are sure we would not be able to make it up if we had decided to walk up hahaha. the scnery was beautiful lah, but too bad its a little foggy. and its damn cold and windy!!!! luckily i prepared my jumper man haha.

finally, on sat, it was to salamanca market. this market only opens on sat, but its really like a bigger pasa malam, and it sells a bit better things than pasa malam haha. still, there are things to shop lah so not too bad.

and that marks the end of my holiday haha. came back to sydney early in the morning on sunday. its a long break, but after looking back i find that a lot of time has been spend waiting and also slping lol.
