Tassie - Hobart

We opted to stay close to Hobart on this day because of how much we had been driving during our trip (over 15 hours so far). We headed up to the Cadbury Chocolate Factory for a tour of sorts. On the way we had a few minutes to spare and we pulled over to feed one duck that we saw along the road, our one duck soon turned into a dozen and as we searched for crumbs and crackers to feed the ducks the children were highly entertained as more and more kept arriving.

At Cadbury our tour consisted of a 30 minute movie about its history and the process of making chocolate. The most notable part was our tour guide, who kept telling us that they made a heck of a lot of chocolate...over and over again. We enjoyed our free chocolates that cost us $20.

That afternoon we decided to drive up Mt. Wellington, a mountain that towers over Hobart. The drive was beautiful. The views were breathtaking. It was probably one of our favorite parts of our trip.

On the way down the mountain we stopped at a natural spring and Colin sacrificed his dryness for a refreshing drink.

Our last day in Hobart was a busy one...which is typical for most of our trips since we have been here in Australia. We walked to Salamanca Pier, played at Battery Point park, had a bit of breaky, headed up Mt. Nelson (the other prominent mountain in Hobart). And finally, before heading to the airport,we went to the Hobart Aquatic Center to have a swim.
