Well it came as no surprise to me that Mel handled her excitement the usual way, absolute panic. Have you rang your Mum to check when she's picking us up, how are we going to carry all this luggage, we need a pusher, Jazz doesn't have a raincoat......yadayadayada. The kids were excited and after a trip into Mt Barker to buy some cross trainers and trackydaks, Mum picked us up. We are cutting it fine, they won't let us check in if were late.....yadayadayada. Checked in waited to board, the kids stuck their faces on the glass panes, blowfish style, to get a peak at the plane they were about to board. Jazz was restless on the flight, Noah was more interested in the Foxtel on the screens in the seats. The airline warnings regarding kids having trouble on flight descents wasn't present in our rug rats and we landed in the tiny Hobart airport. When I say tiny I mean tiny, Jenny Craig couldn't make it any smaller. A grumpy cabby ride later and we arrived at our first stopover, Seven Mile Beach cabin park.
It doesn't take long to realise what Tasmania is about, we are not more than 10km from the airport and it is like being in the wild. The native vegetation is abundant and judging by the Rocky Balboa style roadkill count, so is the wildlife. We ventured down the beach which was outstanding as expected. The local tavern provided our meal for the evening, and it was a very good meal at that. Tracked down a servo and bought some supplies for breakfast. Tomorrow i will pick the van up at 8am and return to collect the family, then off to Cadbury's for Mel and Noah. Jazz and I will go to the baby hire store to collect a baby carrier for Jazz, just $25 to hire for the two weeks, thought that was pretty reasonable. We will probably have a look around the city while we wait for the tour to finish.
