Although it was cold when we arrived in Hobart, the skies were deceptively blue and summer like. It was actually 8 degrees and later in the day when we went out for dinner, the temperature had dropped to 5.7.
In our hire care we found our way very easily into the middle of the city and booked into our hotel. This capital city is so different to Sydney, which we visited last month. It's really like a big country town and the peak hour "rush" seems to be not a rush at all, and certainly not an hour!
The view from our hotel room in the daytime, we overlook the harbour. This evening, as part of the winter festival, called Dark Mofo Winter Feast that is currently running here, there was a ship with a searchlight cruising around.
The searchlight was gradually sweeping the banks, and at this point, pointing almost directly to our window, which I might add, is on the 17th floor.
The lounge area outside the lift well in the hotel is alight with red, which can be seen from outside the building.
We enjoyed a fish and chip dinner at that building with the red/orange roof you can see in the day time view. That's when it was down to 5.7 degrees, and I kept my coat right through dinner. As TRO does not feel the cold as much as me, he stripped his off.
