So I did manage to get one week of work. Up until now the work has
been long days and demanding, but fun at the same time, as I am
working with some awesome guys. Longest shift was 17 hours, but the
hay wants to be cut.
Any ways, I put my car in for service at a local mechanic, and three
days prior to picking up mum, I got the call that the car was going
no where as the wheel bearing wouldn't work correctly anymore (why I
hadn't lost both back tires is still a mystery to the mechanic). So I
tried using some of the contacts to get a car to go to Tasy, but it
all accumulated in to getting a rental car in Melbourne and going on
board the Spirit of Tasmania in it. A huge mess actually (also the
fact that I had a hangover didn't help) but we got the car and got on
to the boat. Explored the boat, had a salad, a few drinks and a chat
before heading to bed. Always could sleep rather well with the deep
thrum of the ship engine.
The next morning we left the ferry in rain, perfect example of
Tasmanian weather. Thanks for the greeting, Tasy. We got a couple of
things sorted out, like the actual travel plan we wanted to do, and
had some breakfast. After that we drove around the town of Devonport
in the car, as I didn't really want to leave and explore Tasi in
pouring rain. Ended up getting some shoping, getting some washing
done, having a tea and watching a movie in a cinema. Mum found a good
accommodation in a brochure and am now using the free wifi to surf
the internet.
Will watch the Spirit of Tasmania leave later and get ready for
travelling tomorrow.
