Tasmania

Back from our short holidays - a week in Tassie. Very wild place, lots of forest, some huge trees, and of course lots and lots of rain. We got wet every day (except the first I think). By the end of the week we knew ..sleep late do the hiking in the afternoon when the sun comes up.

We spent the first couple of days in the south east taking advantage of beaches and sun ...
then we cross towards the highlands, the lakes and the rain. We stood at lake St. Claire for a couple of days and hiked around ...btw do not try to buy the pizza they sale ....awful. After that we moved towards Strahan ...very nice drive, stopped for some waterfalls and camped by some lake all the time. By the end of the week were back in Hobart for a day. We visited the MONA thing ...not recommended at all ...if that it modern art then EVERYTHING IS ART...and not a pleasant one.

So after a week in Tassie we got some mixed feelings ...it was a nice place but I am not sure we will go back, at least not soon. We would return for extraordinary places but with so many places to see ...a nice place is not enough.
