Well I might start getting sad soon. Always thought Tasmania was a bit behind the times but turns out 3 days ahead . HAH
Cloudy start to day but should blow through and be good for rest of stay. Went back to Little Amsterdam for coffee this morning and then of course back to my fave breakfast place . It is still breezy up here on Battery Point. Think the work experience kid left the decimal point out of the temperature update. Still, can’t say anything Negative about Battery Point . It’s a Positive way to jumpstart your day…..
Will never tire of this view from room through its frame like picture window
Certainly will take some serious planning to get best out of next two days . The E Scooters are very popular here but do like, and need, the walking for exercise . Not sure a lot else to see in CBD but can always find a new coffee place
On a first name basis at my breakky haunt – yes let them use Davey as easy for them – but did at least sit at a different table today to keep them on their toes. Really is delicious food and working my way down the menu avoiding all mention of loaf. Today was chorizo sausage .
Always walk through Arthur Circus on way to cafe and only this morning stopped to read the sign. So, only activity allowed in park is Slippery Slide but there is no Slippery Slide 🤔 Bet that bitch Kelly took it as was sick of walking up and down stairs .
Going to need some wise advice for a plan today. If only someone I could ask . HAH
The first issue is clothing. Literally blowing a gale on the waterfront but just know won’t be the case once in the Hills of Hobart . Will try layers and not of the chicken variety . Here is one I prepared earlier as headed off for coffee
While it was cool and windy on the waterfront even in town on some cross streets you also felt the wind so just have to understand direction and fancy meteorology terms like that . Coffee hunt was a bit tedious but as always good to have some exercise. Finally settled on Island Espresso and todays quiz fans is pick the Cortado. Warning one of these is not a coffee
Weather is certainly changeable and even some light showers again this morning, not forecast 😏 One frustrating aspect of Sal and Mannys place is while plenty of restaurants, pubs and cafes not one place does takeaway/prepared salads or sandwiches to bring home for lunch. The “big” market has very limited sushi offering ( as in one daily)but plenty of little meals that need a microwave or oven – not available here . Same on waterfront really . Never seen a hotel with so many cleaners constantly around and working and making a racket of course. Do suspect the noises at night are the lift which is in the middle of all the rooms. Looks great but not very smart .
So the afternoon was time for SalamancaSlurpfest, the only stipulation being gotta stay within the 300 m that is basically Salamanca Nomarket Until Saturday🥸 Pretty Pretty Pretty easy when look at line up on offer . Time to do The Five and Stay Alive. First up Rumbo at Manky Sallys
Number Two of course would be a local Wine so let’s go with the Break Pinot Gris at Grape Bar
Making sure to drink plenty of water so naturally the toilets get a fair workout . I have heard of “ pissing your money against the wall” but this is a bit literal. What an odd Urinal . When in Rome….
Time then for a bit of walk and to be fair may have stretched to 301 m just to be social . Couldn’t resist a Tiramisu Cocktail eh. Very tasty and low calorie…….
On my way back inside the perimeter did see the Tall Ship coming back in on what was now a glorious afternoon
That left Number 4 and must be time for a beer at Jack Greenes . The crowds were gathering as word of the Five Challenge spread
Time then to wander home and finally check out the local Chandelier Bar and try the local Lenna Gin. As luck would have it the cocktail with Gin was on special . And that’s the Fab Five done and not bothered by one single person 👍🏻
And that is me done for the day folks . Only decision now is do I watch the Rugby League World Challenge live tomorrow at 6:30 am or go for my usual walk and coffee🤔 Stay tuned. Meanwhile
Actually going to have a blog free day tomorrow and keep my escapades to myself
