Sunday -- 40.67 km cycling + 2.2 km walking

Today we drove into Hobart and parked the van in a conveniently central location. From there we carried out all our business of the day by bicycle or walking.

First, we did some Christmas shopping, and extended that trip a bit by riding out to the end of the cycleway and back almost to the van, but we took a short detour and did some office shopping for Rowan's job. Then it was back to the van to drop off our stuff.

We were hungry, so we cycled to Fish Frenzy, one of our favourite fish and chips restaurants here in Hobart, and then had some time to kill, so we cycled up the Hobart Rivulet track to check out what might become the start location for an annual cycling event here. And back to the van.

Next up was the walking portion of our trip ... we exchanged the bicycles for folding chairs, gathered up some warm clothing, and walked to St David's Park where we attended the local Carols by Candlelight.

And back to the van.
