Saturday/Sunday 22/23rd Nov - We are camped at Treasure Island where the wet weather seems to appeal to some of the locals. The weekend has been spent exploring Hobart and enjoying the local food, especially the seafood. Saturday we visited the Salamanca market down on the quayside and made a failed attempt to go for a swim at the local aquatic centre in Glenorchy only to find that the heated pool was infact outdoors. It was raining and 14 degrees so that scored a thumbs down!
Sunday was at least sunny for most of the day so we went up Mt Wellington, following on the heels of the marathon runners doing the Point to Pinnacle. Boy was it cold! Hard to stand up right in the howling gale unless you could lean on a passing rock as Cathy demonstated.
Lunch was at Mure's fish restaurant on Constitution Dock and then we went round the Tasmanian Museum, which has some great displays of Australia's involvement with the Antarctic.
