We are back on board the Spirit of Tasmania and about to head back to the mainland!
It has been another great day and we managed to fit in a few more sights, sounds and tastes of Tassie.
Today started smoothly with us rolling out of the campsite right on time. Mr Bacon was excited because today was the day we were going to Ross - home of the 'best wood shop in Tassie'. Unfortunately, much to his distress, it was closed for renovations... Poor Mr Bacon. Ross was stunning! It was like stepping into an old English village and has such a peaceful, relaxed feel to it.
We then headed to Cataract Gorge and enjoyed a walk, followed by lunch in the park. Ellie Ballard, a former student, joined us and it was great to see her. Daniel Harris set a new College record consuming 3 and a 1/2 feet of Subway. We are hoping that it doesn't reappear sometime in the near future. Before getting on board we went to the Honey Farm and got to sample some of the local produce which included honey based ice cream. Very tasty!
Thanks for reading our blog and for all the comments that you contributed.
See you tomorrow afternoon!
Love from all of us.
PS ... Poll question answer: Mr Bacon's favourite food is sushi.
PSS... If you would like to see the lyrics of Mr Bacon and Mr Gilmour's song, you will need to see them next week! They may be willing to share them... for a small a fee ;-)
I am sure I am speaking for many of the parents when I say a heartfelt thank you for taking our children on this wonderful journey. You have taken time away from your own families to provide this valuable experience to our kids. I cannot wait to hear all the stories when they get home. Once again a big thank you and love to you all, Maria and Dave xxoo
