Return to Australia Mainland - Melbourne...
Our friend Eric took us to the Hobart Botanical Gardens and then drove us to the Hobart airport to fly from Tasmania back to the mainland of Australia. We're going to miss his sharp wit, race car driving style and his ability to get us into water cold enough to freeze a polar bear!

Rest of the day was spent settling into the hostel, doing laundry, dinner, making plane and hostel reservations and, as you can see, answering email and updating our blogs on the Internet.
