I second the words said about the Hobart Forum Fest. It's been great & thanks to all that helped entertain Alayna, she thoroughly enjoyed herself. On the walk back to the apartment she kept asking was she going to her bed 😄 & she slept in. We were both up before her.

Currently driving through drizzle on the way to Bicheno.

We're enjoying our "cruise".

Not nice weather for the cruise, it's been raining steadily all morning. I'm sure you are all still enjoying yourself.

Richard and I went on the Cascade a Brewery tour, unfortunately a lot if it was outside and we got wet.  Having lunch now at "Burger a Got Soul". I Couldn't eat all mine.

They are ginormous. But look warm and tasty.

The cruise was well worth doing, even on a wet day, we all enjoyed ourselves and were surprised at the lovely meal (and choices available) that was included in our fare.  They won more points for having Moscato on the wine list !

Nice looking burger Katie.

Rain everywhere by the sounds of it Kerry, nice to hear Alayna slept in, she must have been so tired.  It was so nice you could all join us.

I disagree with Evan,looks as good as a Ferg Burger Katie.
Thanks Judy for finding the cruise it cost $35. For about 11/2 hours with a meal of coral trout that was cooked to perfection. I would most definitely recommend it.  DH had vegetarian patties for $30.00

I only paid $30 Denise!?  I had a huge chicken fillet with gravy, a potato and salad.

  I missed the lunch cruise . What's the plan for tonight?

[Katiej]

Glad to hear everyone enjoyed the cruise. Sounds like good value.
We ran into Denise & Evan in the lift Uni, and they mentioned everyone is meeting downstairs at 6pm tonight (I think for dinner here).

Richard is having a nap, I could probably do with one myself.

[fundj&e]

[judydawn]

I'm going downstairs to see if anyone wants company.

The cruise on the little intimate boat was lovely. Only 16! on board . The meal choices included  a steak,, vegetable burger, chicken and today instead of Atlantic Salmon there was Ocean Trout which is also a pink fleshed fish similiar to Atlantic Salmon. The fish was an extra $5 and well worth it being beautifully cooked by their on board chef. There was salad and boiled potatoes to go with it. Wines served by the glass at a very reasonable price. Thank you Judy. Also available was beer. Cider and soft  drinks. Altogether delightful.

Kerry, so pleased you all had a bit of a sleep in.
We opted out of Cruise which does sound lovely.  We headed for Salamanca Place and spent time in the arty shops and book shops.    Had beautiful light lunch at Smolt.  Outstanding  in house made bread.  Had a talk to chef about their bread.  Served with reduced Balsamic and good olive oil.
We enjoyed walking in the rain,  really heavy mist. Now for packing and a sit down before catching up at 6.
