Hello From Tasmania!

Posted by
Sometime last week, we decided to take a last-minute long weekend trip to Tasmania and arrived yesterday. We are staying in Hobart, and have so far spent time exploring the city and surrounding areas. We are absolutely loving Tasmania and wish we had much more time here! Tomorrow we head up to Freycinet National Park, where the famed Wineglass Bay is located. Tomorrow is also Peter's 28th birthday, so hopefully he will get to do some celebrating despite all the driving! 

Here are just a few pictures from my iPhone (sorry for the janky quality- I'll post pictures from our camera when we get home). 

We stopped for lunch on our way in from the airport, and this place was amazing. I had a super-fresh Tasmanian salmon sandwich and Peter raved about his meat pie. 
Peter in front of our bed and breakfast, ready for a day of sightseeing. 
Our B and B...the cutest place ever. 
We drove up into the mountains and saw this group of kids frolicking in a rogue patch of snow. Exciting stuff for the Aussies! Not so much for us ;). 
Pirate's Bay lookout. 
A random beach we passed on our drive. 
A quick brewery stop before dinner tonight. 
We will be up bright and early tomorrow for another day of exploring before heading for home on Monday morning.
