Tassie Trip, Day 3

This feels like the longest trip, doesn't it? Certainly documenting it is taking longer than the actual trip.

To help you along, why don't you listen to Jack Johnson while browsing through this day's pictures.


Sunday was bright and sunny. Perfect for a road trip. Our main destination was Port Arthur but we stopped at all the touristy and scenic spots along the way.

And, of course, we couldn't pass up a market when we passed one.

I bought a Le Carre book for 50c! Woohoo!

Got suckered into visiting this monument

Oh well, it was a good view and we stumbled onto an antique store because of it.

More importantly, I scored another book for $1.

We stopped at a tourist spot, called the Tessellated Pavement. We had to check it out, especially since we didn't know what tessellated meant.

We found out that this is what tessellated looks like:
Still, don't ask me to define it.

Gorgeous views abound in Tassie and everywhere we stopped was absolutely beautiful.

Have you been wondering who has been taking our couple shots? No one, that's who. I've been so adept at time delay and camera positioning that none of our couple shots have been taken by anyone else. It's all about finding the best stable camera position and running quickly enough to get yourself in the picture.

After a lot of faffing about and photo shoots, we finally made it to Port Arthur.

I have to admit that I didn't do a lot of research on this place. I saw mention of Port Arthur in a couple of tourist brochures and there were pretty pictures so I thought it was worth going to.

We realised when we got there that the place was HUGE and it was going to take the whole afternoon just to get through the place. As it was way past noon and we were starving (all that driving and picture taking is hard work!), we decided to find something quick and edible to eat at the Port Arthur tourist cafe.

This is what we found:

Yes, I know, it doesn't look at all appetising. Fortunately, it tasted better than it looked and I wolfed down my bolognaise pasta. D had a veggie pasta and a (bland) meat pie.

Duly fortified, we were ready to take on Port Arthur...
