Saturday 17th November 2007


Nikki was awake and up before the alarm went off this morning and, being the amazing Wife that she is, had breakfast on the table for me when I woke up... what a gal! We got ourselves ready, made sure everything was packed and then took our bags to reception before heading into town.

Because we'd booked a taxi for 4pm this afternoon - to take us to the airport, we didn't want to do anything or go anywhere that would cause us to be late, so we just looked around the shops instead. After a couple of hours of window shopping we went to the City Park for a picnic. We sat on the grass and ate our sandwiches in the sunshine and then went to have a look at the monkeys that were on show there.

This afternoon, me and Nikki left Steve in the park and went for another look around town, where we bumped into a man walking an Al Paca that was shaved like a poodle (perhaps it's time to leave Tasmania after all?) before taking a slow walk back to the camp site. On the way we stopped in Hungry Jacks (Burger King to everyone at home) and shared a milkshake.

Our taxi turned up bang on time and pretty soon we were checked in at the airport - waiting to fly back to Melbourne. Everything was on time and our plane took off at just after 6.30pm. No sooner was it in the air, I fell asleep - and didn't wake up again until the plane bumped down at the other end. We collected our bags and the caught a taxi back to the centre of Melbourne, and back to Kings Street Backpackers - where we're staying for one night, before moving to St. Kilda.

Oww... I miss Tasmania already!
