Touring Tasmania

So we had a week off for "spring break" and Katie, Julia and I decided to check out another part of Australia. Tasmania.

We arrived in Horbart and hungout there for a day and walked ourselves around seeing all we could. A cute city, but I wouldn't want to stay there too long. We got our rental car and headed up the east coast.

Driving all among cow fields, sheep fields and basically just farm land, we made it all the way to Launceston, which I could never pronounce when we were there (where are we again, Luxenton?) and from there, we drove down the middle of the island back to Hobart, about 1200 km in total.

Oh and I finally got to drive and found the left side issue not so hard to handle. It was a fun little road trip with lots of adventures and too many little stories to share with you all now. Ill give you the highlighted version......

-strange pubs in Hobart with men playing banjo, spoons, fiddles, and washboard, Good beer though!
-driving on the left, sometimes on the shoulder, passing trucks on 2 way country roads
-Going to an historic penal settlement and seeing it for the first time on a late night ghost tour
-actually hearing ghosts and scaring ourselves silly
-laughing so hard at the fact that we were so scared, however continuing to be feaked out about what we saw and heard. I'm not joking it was real!
