We finished the trip with three nights in Hobart. We enjoyed Hobart, it had a good relaxed, feel to it. We watched the Ashes in a few pubs surrounded by unhappy Aussies; had great fish & chips and played crazy golf at a pretty impressive course before being swamped by over 100 kids who arrived and instantly swarmed over every whole like locusts with balls flying everywhere.

Views from our harbourside apartment... 

 



 
We soon filled our apartment with the mess accumulated over the previous 4 weeks...
 


 



 

I ordered an already very hot pizza from an Italian restaurant in the Salamanca area, which came with a glass of extremely potent red chilli's as an accompaniment... Luckily there was a decent supply of local beer to take the pain away...

Gojira (Godzilla) - Greenpeace's new ship which had recently sailed to Hobart before going to sea to engage the Japanese whaling fleet...

It sounds like an old Japanese B Movie... Miche meets Gojira... I know who my money's on...


Gojira and Hobart harbour... 



Me at the Antarctic expedition monument, a reminder of the nearest neighbour to the south of where I was standing...
