Wang Theng
turned 60 today as we wing back from Wellington on the 6am flight to
Melbourne. Dinner was at Supernormal
Fusion Restaurant on Flinders Lane, where we have a picture of every dish on
the buffet menu.
Tessa
Maylene took us to the Trinket Bar for drinks while we waited for our table at
Supernormal.

The LIM
team is together again, as we fly to Hobart on JitStar (hehe). The Hobart airport is tiny like Kuching
airport. There is no air-bridge here and
stairs were brought to the plane for front and rear disembarking. Now we know how it feels to get off the plane
like POTUS.
Marcus hired
a Holden Equinox SUV for our road trip
in Tassie.
First stop was Hobart where
we parked the car and joined the Salamanca weekend market on the water-front.
Some pies
were procured for a snack and sour dough bread for tonight’s dinner. We are staying in Coles Bay tonight, a 3 hour
drive along the east coast highway. I
wanted to join the Sullivan Cove Whisky tour but missed the 11am tour by
inches.
This distillery won the Single
Cask Whisky champion award last week, and they increased the price of that
blend to $550 a 700ml bottle.
After lunch
of Tassie scallop pie and buying supplies at Sorell, we checked into the very
slick AirBnB in Coles Bay.
Tessa Maylene
did a good job booking this place, there was nothing missing in this modern
unit at this near seaside place. We were
entertained by Netflix that night.

We have an
early 9am departure to cover Wineglass Bay, Launceston and Erriba.
First stop at Wineglass Bay involves a 80 min return uphill hike to the lookout with views of Coles and Wineglass bays along the way.

Although
downhill, the return walk felt longer.
Perhaps time slows down when you have a full bladder.
Queen of the World.
Then a short
boardwalk loop walk around the Tourville Bay lighthouse which was above some steep
cliffs and crashing waves. Glad it was a
fine sunny day.
A 2-hour
drive to Launceston for lunch, refuel and pick up supplies for our remote
Erriba AirBnB. This Launceston City is deplete
of people although cars were a-plenty.
We also struggled to find a restaurant opened at 2pm on this Sunday. Found a pub open Steve's Grill and even then they had to
check with kitchen if they were cooking at 2pm.
We were
well fed at the pub. I have to say the
small Tassie scallops are delicate and flavourful. After
lunch, we crossed Wellington St to shop at Coles.
It took
another 2 hours to get to the AirBnB cottage in Erriba. We await to do our Cradle Mountain walk tomorrow.

There were beautiful views above and below on the way up.
A kind walker took a family photo at the lookout.
