Good morning Tassie! It's our last day here, and we're really sad to live this beautiful city, so much so we were whining about how we should have planned for a longer duration here. :(
Breakfast at Pilgrim Coffee! I had the french toast with whipped butter cream and bacon. Sounds simple but it was soooo good. Joel had the Hipster breakfast - super hearty and super delicious! Joel dislikes cafe food so the fact that he enjoyed this means it was really pretty good. Plus points for awesome strong coffee as well!
Blessed with good weather!
Really excited to be able to see Mount Wellington in a distance as we drove towards it. Because the peak was not shrouded by clouds! Thankfully, the roads were opened today after our failed attempt up previously.
On the way up, a thick layer of snow hugged the sides of the road. Probably snowed the previous night, which was why it was closed!
When we reached the top, I had only one word to describe it - AMAZING!
We had the best view of Hobart below, for miles.
Somehow the snow makes it even more beautiful. And for the snow to be present, it definitely reflected how cold this place was!
There is also an Observatory where you can seek shelter and read some informational boards.
Hiding from the cold winds!
We spent about 2 hours just walking around. Decided to leave when the mist started enveloping the peak.
On the way down, there are a few stopover points where you could get some good views in as well.
Headed down to Battery Point in search of some light bites. This street is closed for Salamanca Market on Saturdays, so it really looks different now. Also, when we came last Saturday, we couldn't even see Mount Wellington!
In the end we ended back at Jackson & McRoss to take away some pastries. Then it was time to head to the airport for our flight to Sydney.
Bye Tassie (T.T)
Hello Sydney!
