We stayed our last night in the Tamar Valley in a really nice hotel, our cabin booking at Swansea was mucked up and we had to leave quickly. Nearly every bit of accommodation in Launceston was booked, so we were lucky to get this room. They also had a great restaurant and we had dinner there. The football started Thursday evening 🙄 so I got a lot of stitching done.
sloe gin for me, special treat!
Friday we headed off to visit a penpal in Longford, we had a great cuppa and catch up before Kath had to go back to work.
We did an Adventure Lab in Longford based on the historic buildings
horse trough, fancy isn't it?
lots of amazing historic buildings all beautifully looked after.
From there we went to Deloraine for another Adventure Lab, this one was along the river, where sculptures were placed. There were also little animal sculptures around the park.
not a sculpture there were several of these by the side of the rivet
one question here was if a man has a glass of milk with a shot of rum in it, what is he doing? The answer was on the metal strip, he was going out to look for cattle strays. The things I learn!!!
We got to Devonport very very early, we thought the ferry left at 7.30 but the proper time was 9.30.
All along the foreshore at Devonport are geocaches, placed for people who have time to fill while waiting for the ferry. David has a sleep in theear and I wandered off. It was very windy, I found the first cache but had no luck with next three. David came and found me two hours later, just before the battery on my phone died. I left the charging cable behind at the hotel. Not the best!
We sat in the car waiting to get onto the ferry for the best part of 4 hours, lots of stitching happened on tea and toast. The ferry was running late, we finally left about 10pm, we pretty much went to bed in our cabin.
We got into Geelong about 8.30 this morning and we're home by 10am. We are a bit tired today but had a great time.
Off to my bed soon
happy stitching.
