Day 5 - 9 January 2012

I woke up to the lovely smell of coffee. Thank you Sarah. We packed our bags and the car in a brisk temperature of 8c. Before checking out of the Chateau we had the Continental breakfast. After filling my plate with poached eggs and scrambled eggs I was told by Sarah very quietly 'The continental breakfast does not include the hot food'. So i raced to my tabled and ate them as quick as possible. $18 each for cereal, I don't think so!! Give me the hot food for that price.

6 Hours of driving ahead of us and we are off.

Detour through Hobart to have a sticky beak at the shops and town. Not impressed actually. Two words sprung to mind, Gritty and Rushed. I guess with any unplanned town you will have issues with buildings stacked against the next. Almost bought a laptop, i just couldn't justify the money just yet, the laptop I am using to write this does the job just fine. Kinda. Had a coffee at Gloria Jeans again and just as we got to the car, I needed to crap. So we raced around for a while until we found a place to poo and I was ready to go again.

We arrived at our place near Cygnet called Moon river Retreat. This place is stunning. The views are amazing. Although there is a 3 meters high of glass at the front and the wind is at high speed, it is very warm in the house. Sarah has been reading out the instructions to the place and there seems to be a media player. After further investigating there is a hard drive next the TV, Jackpot :D.

No placed to eat out tonight as this is Tasmania and everyone closes at 4pm. We headed to the local IGA and we bought food to make spag bowl for the next few days. I bought stuff to make fresh bread also. Spag Bowl and fresh raisin bread/roll was awesome. Much better than eating out.

I just spoke to Mum and Dad. As we were talking the sun came out of the clouds and Sarah in a panic ran to the balcony to get some pictures. I filmed the whole thing.

Sarah is still having issues with the sun set as the weather down here changes minute by minute. Clouds, Sun, Clouds, Sun... Dark, Rain, Wind... Ow well maybe tomorrow we get a nice sunset shot hey Sarah?
