Hobart and beyond

Hello All,

We are all well and still having fun! We are really excited to be spending time with our friends Sue and Andrew and their gorgeous little boy Nathaniel! But before we get to that we might finish telling you about what we got up to in Hobart.

We stayed with the Thompson family for the first few days and then moved in with Chrystal for the last few days! Both were wonderful times!

All rugged up!

At the Thompson's Sara enjoyed the attention of their kids and the different toys to play with and at Chrystal's she seems to appreciate having her own space! We enjoyed the fellowship and just catching up with them over the week we spent there.
In summary of our activities, we had a look around at Mt Wellington, and did another lovely walk near their house, and basically enjoyed relaxing and celebrating Easter with them. We also spent a lovely morning exploring the Salamanca markets, did some Op shopping, enjoyed the yummy Cadbury factory tour and expanded our historical knowledge with a tour of the Penitentiary Chapel (a convict prison) a look around in one of the prison yards of the old female factory. We also had a lovely day trip to Huonville, where we saw a miniature village, some funky carved trees and an apple museum.

Sara enjoyed her first Easter eggs

Upon leaving Hobart we met up with Andrew, Sue & Nathaniel Ellis (Who have flown in from Adelaide to holiday with us for 9 days) in Sorell (just East of Hobart) and then travelled together up the east coast to Coles Bay, on the outskirts of the Freycinet National Park. This is where we are currently residing.

Since we have been here we have hiked to the famous Wineglass Bay (located in the Freycinet National Park) and been up to Douglas Aspley National Park and Bicheno, which were both beautiful places. For those interested in things mechanical, we have had some (flat) battery issues with the car. However, after discovering the fact that the interior light had been on we believe that we have resolved that issue. Tomorrow we will be heading over to Swansea for Church and to do some exploring.

Love David, Ingrid, Sara & Bubs
