Richard's Birthday

We celebrated Richard's birthday over a couple of weekends.  We went out to dinner at the Rosevears Hotel and then the following weekend we had a lovely BBQ at home with family.  So nice to catch up with everyone.

Saturday in Hobart

 We spent a leisurely day in Hobart on the Saturday, starting with breakfast at Mures, a walk around Salamanca Market, then the Botanical Gardens, ending the day at the Drunken Admiral.  Wonderful.

A Weekend in Hobart

We were lucky enough to find time to spend a lovely weekend in Hobart.  We travelled down on the Friday about lunch time.  I was a good trip with very little traffic.

Sorry, blurry photo of the road sign on our way to Hobart.
