Chris and his new roomate picked me up at the airport yesterday morning in his roomies 1989 Toyota Corolla... it's a beauty. We drove to Port Arthur which is the main jail when Tasmania was a convict island. They used to ship excess convicts here from England. It was pretty cool- we went on a little boat cruise and watched a performance.
The drive was gorgeous- as is all of Tasmania. Beautiful forests, beaches and the ocean. The weather has been gorgeous the last 2 days- 21 degrees and sunny. I lucked out because people said it's been chilly and overcast the last few weeks.
Today we went to the winery and did some wine tasting and had lunch there. The winery is awesome- the owner is really into art so all the wine labels are works of art and there are a lot of really awesome pieces of art around the winery.
After that we drove up Mount Wellington and walked around the top. It's a beautiful view, you can see all around Tasmania. A few weeks ago my brother road his bike up the mountain- I can't believe it. It's a hiiiikeee to get up there! I definitely wasn't up for a huge bike ride today so the car was a good idea.
Tomorrow we're going to go to the museum at the winery- the winery is really cool so I'm looking forward to seeing the museum. Tomorrow night I fly to Melbourne for a few days, I've got a few friends there that I'll go visit and I might stay in a hostel for a night.
Hope everything is great at home.
