Snow!!!

Today we made an early start to visit the famous Salamanka Markets.  Of course, it was freezing again, and we went well rugged up, except  for the one  who does not feel the cold.  After a yummy breakfast at a local cafe, we trekked the entire length  of the market, which has over 300 stalls, many of which feature items just available here in Tasmania.  A coffee break half way through below.

After a light lunch in the old IXL jam factory site, we headed off to Mt. Wellington.  We could see the snow on it from our Hotel.  It's almost 13 years since we have been to the snow, and although we did not have snow gear, we thought we would manage for a short trip.  There was no guarantee we would even get to the top either.   We did, along with many other travelers.   It was so very, very cold!   Just 1 degree at the top, and  the wind chill factor we reckoned to be -10.   After about 30 seconds facing the wind, my face was freezing.

It was so very pretty, with a wonderful view overlooking Hobart.   This city really is a most delightful place.

Dinner time took us to the Drunken Admiral.   Again, just a short walk from our accommodation.  It's so good to wander around at walk around at night  with many other folk out and about as well; everyone rugged up to the nines.

Depending on what you ordered, a large sized bib was offered to protect your clothes.   RTO enjoyed a Yachties mixed Grill, which came on a sizzling plate. (With the bib).  Kath had "Hotrock Salmon", served on a hot stone, and mine was Sultans Wok Pot, prawns in a light satay sauce with Chinese veggies.  Kwong enjoyed grilled Hapuka.   An absolutely delicious meal, and worth coming back to Hobart simply to go to that restaurant again.

Another lovely day ends.
