Two weeks on the Devil’s Island

It’s amazing how quickly two weeks can pass – especially when you’re having fun! The year has passed pretty quickly for me and has brought along with it a whole heap of changes for me and for the people I choose to spend my life around. But for at least six months, I have been counting down to one thing only – our trip to Tasmania! This was my third time back to Tasmania and I was not disappointed. It was funny to see that although some 15 odd years has passed since my first visit to Tassie, some things had not changed one little bit. I think that’s what I like most about Tassie….it’s almost timeless in nature and you know that some things are just never going to change which is reassuring to person like me who is a creature of habit.

I had planned to have a bit more of a laid back visit to Tassie this time and just take things as they came but still we covered almost 4000kms travelling around one small island. Even so, there are some things which we had to leave for next time. We have family there now, so it gives us an excuse to go back again – hopefully it’s not another ten years before we go again this time.

There’s possibly only one thing I don’t love about Tasmania – the lack of reliable high speed broadband! Consequently I am doing a fortnight’s blog entry at once whereas I had planned to update it along the way. It is a small price to pay for the many wonderful things the island has to offer.

Two weeks means two photos….so I had to choose two out of the many in my Tasmania set on Flickr. It’s the Devil’s island, so I had to have one of the iconic Tassie Devil. The other I chose for one of the things I loved best about Tassie – bright sunshine and a clear blue sky and still able to enjoy the day out and about without sweating buckets!
