Tasmania at Last

We flew Virgin Air to Hobart.  Talk about an economy airlines, we even had to pay for a drink of water, we were lucky we didn't have to flap our arms.

Stuart picked us up from the airport, he was smart enough to call to see how much room he needed.  Dalton told him not to bring anyone with him to the airport and then everything would fit....those damn golf clubs.  We managed to all fit in the car with one seat laid down.   

We arrived at Stuart & Jenny's and all the kids were there, we had a lovely dinner (or tea as they call it) and it was really nice to see all the kids.  William has got rid of his dreadlocks, still on his dresser but not on his head anymore.  We finally got to meet Alana in person, had spoken to her on Skype but it's not quite the same.  David and Jaqui were here and will be moving into their new house this week-end.  Ellie came over but Cam wasn't with her, he was busy elsewhere, will meet him this week-end.  It was a very nice evening...The Tassie Hagells/Masons are great.

Tuesday was Australia Day so we went into Hobart to watch all the goings on.  This is the day when all of the immigrants around the country become Australians.  We attended a ceremony by the beach.  It is really a festival type atmosphere.  We wandered around Hobart, what a beautiful old city it is.  There are so many seafood eateries, we need some of these in Campbell River, everything is so fresh and so delicious.
