So we met up with the boys (Rene Pix and Stu) in Melbourne on Friday arvo it had been raining when they got in and they were parked right under someones balcony by there front door, we ate some fish at a place right by the spot to get onto the spirit of Tasmanian. After waiting in the line to get onto the ship for like over an hour (because a car in the line broke down) we finally got onto the ship we quickly got our stuff into the cabins and then checked out the view from the top outside deck t was very cool being 7 stories above the water. after we check the view we went to find the bar, had some drinks ad then headed for the games room, we played some buck hunter! witch was made much harder by the fact that the ship was swaying at the same time, anyway no one got sick and we all headed to bed.
The next morning we got into port right on time at 7am, luckery we found a 24 hour bakery right near the boat that did bacon and eggs and the Tassie bacon challenge began the challenge was to eat bacon everyday for the 2 weeks we were there and it was awsome. after the bacon the riding started and after getting a new tyre fitted to Rene's bike we headed to strahan. Imediatly it became clear why we came to tassie as the roads here are awsome! before we had even left the city the speed limit went to 110 and stayed there most of the time. the ride to strahan was twisty and nice but the most amazing thing was the scenery, it changes every 5 mins, we went from hills to plains to forests and everything else. The next thing i noticed was that the weather changed even more then the scenery, now i have seen 4 seasons in 1 day in Canberra but in tassie we had 4 seasons in 1 hour, by the end of the day we had all used the wet weather gear and Patty and Pix had already had a onesey race (a onesey is a one peace plastic rain suit) and a video of the race will be on the official DVD and believe me it is very funny. first night ended like most of the nights in Tassie, that is drinking and cards!
the next day we got up and went on a gordon river cruise it was very good and we got some sick photos the cruise included a rain forest walk and a guided tour of sarah island. the trip also showed me just how much i like being on a boat, it kicks ass now all i have to do is make enough money to buy one.
the next day we got up and headed to Hobart on the way we got to ride the bendiest road in the country it was funnily enough bendy.....very bendy we got to Hobart and rode up a very big hill to our hotel
anyway that all i can be bothered writing tonight Paddy will be doing the next update shortly
For now Good bye and keep eating bacon
