Continued from the previous post, after sending K&M to the airport, we headed to the Kettering ferry terminal.
It's good to decide beforehand on the timing of the ferry which you want to catch. The timings aren't that frequent, so if you miss one you could end up waiting more than one hour!
We planned to take the 9.30 AM ferry, but made sure we were there at 9am the latest. That's our Ford on the right, queuing up! We were at the back of Lane 2 and were afraid we won't make it on the ferry. But all was well! The ferry can take more cars than expected.
First time driving a car up on the ferry!
First stop was the Neck Lookout - which is a MUST visit. It's probably one of my favorite parts of Tasmania as well. Along a very thin stretch of land that separates North and South Bruny Island, is a lookout point.
To the right is the Great Bay, and on the left is Adventure Bay. Too bad the weather is a little wonky.
Drove down further to Adventure Bay.
How nice it will be to live by the beach! But I guess trying to get to mainland Tassie is a pain.
Perhaps the residents here have their own boats!
There's not much to do at Adventure Bay during the cold months, but in summer I guess people can swim and snorkel and kayak. There's not much to do or eat either so we settled for a cosy place called Penguin Cafe.
Very homely and family-run. The owner cooks while his wife knits. Her work can be seen all around the cafe!
We ordered a burger, scallop pie and deep-fried battered scallops! Scallop overload but not complaining at all. (:
Munching on the honeycomb chocolate I bought at Salamanca Market yesterday.
Bruny Island Lighthouse.
Before venturing up to the lighthouse, we noticed the beach nearby, which was just beckoning us. :D
Headed back up to this tiny little hut which is supposedly a museum haha.
A rainbow appeared! One of the rare times in my life I have seen a full rainbow.
And it followed us as we headed back.
On the way back to the ferry terminal, the weather cleared up nicely, so we decided to climb up the lookout again to get better pictures. So worth it!
Last minute decision to get oysters since we were early.
I don't take oysters so I hope Joel found damn nice!
Back in Hobart! We decided to take a shot at driving up Mt. Wellington but unfortunately the roads were closed due to snow.
Checked in to our airbnb for the night.
And headed out nearby for some Thai food.
Someone looks happy to eat. Heh. :D
