I debated if I could post a non-food related post on my food blog... then I thought... "Stuff it. It's my blog, I can do whatever the frick I want!" So with that in mind; I give you some miscallenous shots of my recent trip to Hobart. The food posts will come, and so will a gorgeous photo journal of my trip to Port Arthur.
I finally started reading Matt Preston's book on the flight over, with my $4 tube of Jetstar Pringles. Awesome book. I was chuckling to myself on the plane, hoping no one thought I was a crazy lady!
Excuse the small map. It was done in iPhoto... I could have done the connecting lines but you wouldn't be able to read anything!
My home for 5 nights was at the
Wyndham Resort on Seven Mile Beach; 2 bedrooms (complete with electric blankets), 1 kitchen with laundry facilities, 1 bathroom, lounge, outdoor dining area.
We had 1 pool, 2 spas, 2 detox boxes (one wasn't working, and I didn't feel very detoxed after 30 minutes in the one that was working), a games room, playground, massive chess set, barbecues, and you could even hire bikes, fishing rods and golf clubs.
Around the resort.
The resort was just across the road from the beach. The top photo is a lovely sunset over Seven Mile Beach. The other two photos were taken at scenic viewpoints on our way back home from Port Arthur.
Tasmania was every bit as gorgeous as everyone said it would be. With rolling green hills, and bursts of floral colour on the roadside where ever you drive; it is really a picturesque part of Australia.
Salamanca was probably my favorite place in Hobart. The markets on Saturday were great, I will be following up with a post just on them soon! Lots of great food finds down there too.
I found a giant wall of ramen.
Some of the cute and quirky signs I found along the way.
This was Dootown. Every house had a cute name like; Love Me Doo, Doo Mee, Dr. Doo Little, Doo Try It, Just Doo It..... you get the picture.... even the cafe at the blowhole had a doo-name.
Taken on my last day, when it finally started raining, I saw these on a boat and couldn't help but sing, 99 luft balloons!
Stay tuned for my Tazzie food adventures, and more photo journals. I hope you enjoyed this one.
Have you been to Tazzie? What was your favorite site or food place?
Awesome photos!! That resort looks very nice, shame about the detox box (not that I have any idea what a detox box is anyway). Maybe you didn't feel detoxed cos you are naturally detoxed!! Maybe Matt Preston's words detoxed you already, haha.
Looking forward to more Tassie posts!
(oh yeah and I love the incorrect apostrophe in the wall of ramen photo... gives a nice authenticity to the shot ;) )
