G'day Mates!

Mark one off the bucket list!  We have made it to Australia and soon, points beyond.  Long day of flying… three flights, the longest 15 hours.  We took off in the dark out of LAX and landed in Melbourne, AU at a bit after the crack of dawn!  Thank heavens for laydown beds in the airplane… We actually got some sleep, in our fancy Qantas Pajamas, and felt almost human for the rest of the traveling.

Arrived in Hobart, to a warm, sunny day… unloaded our bags and went out walking.  We even had some energy. And we now can say we have found a geocache in Tasmania!  Checked out restaurants, wandered a bit on the piers, and headed back to our place.  Had a cocktail… a wonderful Gin and Tonic… So good, but so bad… brought on the snoozies and I could not stay away any longer that 730.  And now, it’s 3am… and what the heck am I doing writing this. 

The hotel we are staying in use to be a Jam Factory…. Yes, Jam I said!  It’s only been renovated in the last 20 years and they’ve done a great job keeping the inside beams and walls intact while make the rooms quite eclectic!  The view from our room is pretty nice…

Well, that’s it… I’m going to get back in bed and look for slumberland again!

 All changed out of our jammies.. having brekky and it's still dark out... plus, we lost a day somewhere along the way!

Yikes, wrong side of the road folks!!!

They really incorporated the old beams into the design

View from our room... I think we're gonna like it here!
