Today was our first full day in Hobart. We left our accommodation and drove to the Cadbury Factory but decided that we didn’t want to pay the $7.50 entrance fee just to enter the shop (we didn’t have time to stick around and do the tour). After that we drove to Mount Wellington, which was shrouded in cloud. We drove to the summit and spent a few minutes up in the clouds – very cold and wet… we didn’t see much, either  

Our next stop was the Cascade Brewery and I spent a while walking around the gardens. Some of the flowers they had were quite beautiful – the honey bees here are huge and much fatter than the ones at home. I want to plant some of the plants in my garden at home… the colours were stunning.

After the Brewery, we drove to Hobart and into the commercial district for lunch at Constitution Dock. I don’t eat fish, so I ate plain potato wedges with sour cream. We separated after that; Dad went to take photos, my sister went shopping on her own and mum and I went together.

Tonight we went out to dinner at the Casino. We went to a buffet restaurant. It was nice – very small but the food was lovely and the service was quite good too. Now we are back watching the football – go Port Adelaide!

Okay, so it wasn’t that wild. I went into work this morning after a brief stop at Officeworks for some necessay supplies. It took approximately two hours to finish shifting and moving items from my old desk to my new one and to sort through a lot of the paperwork I had. I have towed some of it home to sort out over the break. I want to be more organised next year. If I keep saying it, maybe it will happen. After work I went to lunch with another teacher (one of the teachers I went out with on Monday). After that I went shopping and then home to work on my novel.

This afternoon I went and took some more photos out the front to test out my new SDHC 4GB memory card. I nearly bought an 8GB but decided against it for now. I probably will get one before April, as I may be going away on holidays.
