My Tassie Trip... Day 2

Now on to Day 2... we have decided a change of plans and head up to Bruny Island instead of spending a day a Freycinet... and off we are to take the ferry over to Bruny Island..

The view from the ferry...


We decided to go on a 3 hr Eco Cruise as we were not familiar with the island and the cruise had been strongly recomended by our Chinese host at the bed and breakfast stay.. so off we go!

Then we're fitted with super big rain coats to brave the cold and also from getting wet from the sea...


A bad choice to go out to sea as it was really choppy!! I had to stay for half of the journey cos I was just too seasick sitting down.. the boat was super rocky.. I don't normally get seasick but this just wasn't for me... it's up and down and up and down...

The highlights of the ride... the blowhole.. look at the waves!!

The other scenic views... it was amazing.. I must say... Just wished I wasn't so sick that I could have enjoyed myself...





Off to have some lunch.. I so need some food to warm me up.. we found a cosy cafe nearby..

Hot chocolate pls!!

We saw a rainbow... it can only get better from here onwards...

Yay!! Jump for the world!!!

We had to go to one lookout... this is the narrow upward walk up.. which starts here...

Walk ways

Take a break while I'm up there... and take in the breeze...

and view... Look at it... wish you were here...


Wat a tiring day... so we decided to have dinner in and rest early.. and found out what an awesome cosy place it is.. it's called the Christmas Cottage from one of the Bed and Breakfast stay in the little town of Richmond... I strongly recommend this place to anyone!!

With a cool fireplace....


A family place with a little kitchen and table for dining...


The bedrooms...



An early night... ZZzz... and wake up to a nice breakfast in the little christmas cottage...

My Tassie Trip.. Day 1

I have just returned from my tassie trip with my pal... Wen Guang... and finally it's blogging time.. here goes!!

Getting enough brochures and coffee to perk ourselves up for the start!



First stop is at Richmood a hot meal.. and catch up after 1 year!! It's been a long time since we last meet up!


The little town... is so beautiful with the old victorian houses..


A short break lying on the grass ....


Just along the Richmood bridge which is over a century old...

Then off we are up to Mount Wellington! it was like sooo cold... must be near 0 degree Celsius! cos there was snow.. and I'm so happy cos we're on top of the world!!






The next stop is to the Cadbury Factory!!

But it's closed!! But no time to lose.. we need to still take some pictures!!

The Cadbury Car!!


My Enormous Cadbury chocolate Bar!!

Look the Cadbury characters from their chocolate advertisement!!



Our Bed and Breakfast stay at Hobart.. it's alright for one in the city but it was run by Chinese!! But the guy was very helpful but overly and gave us not so good suggestions.. which you will understand from Day 2...


Dinner time.. for some sumptuous seafood! With fish and more fish



This brings an end to day 1....

Valentine's Day 2009

Valentine started early on Friday night... as we didn't wanna have dinner rush with the crowd...


We went back to our favourite french resturant... Moretons out at Carlton.. where the resturant owner, Jenny... know us friends... our liking of her food where she warmly share her life and ours with her.. it's a comforting feeling when you can go back to a place where you feel like home...








The the exchange of gifts.. Look what I got!!




What more could a girl ask for? Thanks love... smuacks!!!

Morning was spent helping Rachel to move out.. She has left now to stay with her bf.. and I wish them well...

Then off to lunch at De Gras Lane near Flinders.. I love their super big sumptious breakfast there... I had "The Works" and Kelvin had Strawberries and Pancakes... it just the best way to spend Valentine's Day morning..



Since it's the first night we have the apartment to ourselves, we planned a super romantic candlelight dinner... just us.. the two of us.. the perfect way to spend Valentine's day... We had roasted ribs.. with mash potato, salad and some red wine... Along with our own movie play of "Twilight"..romantic story of a human and vampire in love... so touching and did I say the actor is sooo soo cute....


Happy Valentine to All... hope you had a especially wonderful one too... :D
