Today, we had quite a varied experience. There were several things we wanted to see and do. That's one of the things we're enjoying about our new city ... variety!
We started with a ride across the bridge to the centre of town where we watched the Christmas parade for an hour or so. It was very good ... but I'm still getting used to having Christmas in the summer.
Then we cycled to Salamanca Market, and spent a while walking around there and looking at all the stuff. Salamanca Market is huge and runs every Saturday ... worth a look, but it tends to be a bit expensive.
Then we cycled up to the local tip recycle shop, and had a wander around there. We wanted to have a look at the bicycles, and there were some that were possible for our purposes. Not sure. However, there might be a couple old wardrobes that have some potential
Then we cycled to the Botanical Gardens, and had a wander around there. The Royal Hobart Botanical gardens are the second oldest botanical gardens in Australia, and are quite enjoyable. I especially liked the Japanese Garden section.
And finally, we cycled home.
All up ... 20 km of cycling, plus lots of walking.
