We’ve had such a brilliant couple of weeks here in Hobart, I really can’t stress enough - you must plan to come over next January.  It’s hot, jaw-droppingly beautiful and there is so much to see and do. Most of it is organised by MONA, but hey, they do it well so who’s complaining.

MOMA, is the new Saturday market, for people who prefer not to get up at the crack of dawn to rifle through tourist nasties and who enjoy a spot of music and beer of a Saturday arvo.

The Harvest stall is a stand out - it’s jam packed with delights. We bought two days worth of vegies for $4.50. The other stalls are brilliant too. I tried the plum icecream from one, and Richard tried one of Jucy Lucy’s detox juices. Both met with approval. I bought a lovely bunch of flowers from a flower stall run by the lovely lady from Peppermint Farm, which is on the way to Cygnet - wouldn’t mind dropping in there for a Spring visit!

Next time we go, we’ll gather together a bunch of friends, have a champagne on the ferry, try some Belgian beers in the bar and sit on the grass eating extra long Argentinian kebab thingees and lusting after the beautiful blue water that surrounds us.
