Day 3 - 7 January 2012

Sarah was up again at the break of dawn to catch the sun rising. I slept, I'm still sick and catching up of some sleep really makes me feel better for the day.

We left our first place we stayed to head first to a petrol station, I was stressing over no fuel. To the 'Tasmanian Zoo'. It was so funny, all the animals are so cheeky there, they call you over cause you have food then try and steal it from you hahha. Loads of video footage. Funniest thing is when a tassi devil tried to eat my camera
Then after a decent couple of hours we had seen all the check we could and headed to GET PETROL! still none.

Finally we got some at a Service station, that's right a service station, where they service you. Where they put petrol in your car. This lovely lady put petrol in my car and told me that the first time she went to Sydney was a little while ago to see ZZ top. She said next time she goes (not that she wants to) she will take salad sandwiches, so when the homeless ask for money she will hand out these sandwiches. Such a nice lady. He eyes hurt from all the car fumes in Sydney. Moving on.

To the Tasmazia or the maze place. Was unreal. I lost Sarah once and I have it on film, I won one race with her through one of the mazes. It's all on film and is loads of fun.
Sarah talking now! So the mazes were so much fun, we had a great time racing each other, but it was time to get on the road again. We were headed to Cradle Mountain.
I made Chad stop a few times for photo opportunities, there was a really cute sheep at one stop that licked my hand and tried to bite my bum.

We started winding up the really steep hills which eventually evened out to a horrible place called Middlesex Plains, it was a huge area just full of dead trees, was very morbid and in this overcast weather, it made it worse.

But then we came across our accommodation, Cradle Mountain Chateau. It's lovely, we have a king split level room that looks out onto the bush. AND it has a spa, which I will define fly be using later.

We booked in for an early dinner at Grey Gums fine dining restaurant. It was soooo good, I had pork belly and Chad had slaughter baby wallaby thrown on a char grill. Poor baby wallaby, he seemed to enjoy other though.

For dessert I had Creme brûlée (surprise surprise) and Chad had caramel pariffe, and he also discovered he does not like Khalua.

During dinner it started to rain, which is making us second guess tomorrows hike, we may spend the day in front of the fire......it's so cold!

So I think I a, going to have a spa, so that's it for day 3.....onto the next!
