Trouble in Hobart & Tasmanian redemption!

ByMinion-Chris March 20, 2017 2 Comments
Our plan today was to head to the Hobart Waterfront to explore battery point and the Salamanca area. We had just arrived and were about to start exploring the area when Photos started feeling nauseous. We popped into a nearby coffee shop to let him rest and see how he felt. Unfortunately he started feeling worse so we decided to go home and let him rest. Photos went straight to bed (probably the...

Exploring Tasmania

Tasmania It was a day of travel as we would depart Alice Springs en route to Melbourne. We would have a short layover in Melbourne before flying again to Hobart, Tasmania. Because of its size, we decided to rent a car in Tasmania. This was an "experience" as it was the first time either Photos or I would be driving on the "other" side of the road. The first few moments were wrought with...

It'd only been two days but we already started feeling the "fullness" of the days we'd had in Sydney. Today we didn't have as many stops, so we were looking forward to a "more relaxed" day starting with a coastal walk. Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk Fortunately Photo's cousins are very close to Bondi Junction Station/ So it made getting to Bondi beach extremely easy. A single bus (381) got us there...

Blue Mountains Our plan was to visit the Blue Mountains today. Our local friends and online travel guides both recommended a visit. It is a bit of an earlier start as it's approximately two hours outside of Sydney. We trained to Strathfield where we met Physio and a few friends to drive the rest of the way. Three Sisters Our first stop was at the Three Sisters. This was one of the main...
