Big City
Last week Rob had Thursday and Friday off—yay! So we went to Hobart, the big city of Tassie. It’s the capitol city here, and much larger than Launceston. It has great food and lots of entertainment. The first thing we did when we got to the city was drive to the dim sum restaurant for lunch. They serve it all week long and it’s really good. I wish I had some right now.
After lunch we walked to Battery Point and explored Salamanca Place. There are a lot of shops and art galleries at Salamanca Place and on Saturdays they have a big market with food and art and crafts. We are planning to see that eventually. On Friday we got up early and drove out of town to take a tour of Cadbury’s Chocolate Factory. Yum. Lots of free samples along the way. While it’s not my favorite chocolate, it’ll do for now. We had lunch at a great seafood place (Hobart is known for good seafood) and it was off to tour the Cascade Brewery. Our tour guide had worked there for over 20 years and had tons of interesting facts and stories.
Here’s an interesting sidenote for those of you who are fans of DMB. We were out listening to some music on Thursday night and the band asked if anyone knew of a guy named Dave Matthews. Rob and I were the only people in the place who had heard of him. I knew that he wasn’t as popular in other countries, but wow…not even a spark of recognition.
