Stasha left the room this morning at 6:00am. Unfortunately, she won't be joining Max and me for our next destination.... but she'll get to spend more time in Melbourne. See ya later Stasha!
As for Max and me, back to bed.
|
No, not really... Max and I got out of bed soon after. We
went out for brekky at Serigo's. After breakfast, we went browsing and found something to repackage Max's gifts and belongings. Also loaded up on film for Max's camera. Me... I think I had 200+MB left on my memory stick... Plenty. Then back to the hotel to finish packing.... with plenty of time to spare. |
One final check for our belongings, and we shut the door behind us.
 |
Quick shot in front of the mirror next to the Bird of Paradise, while we waited for the down-elevator. |
 |
We dropped left our bags with the bellman... with time to spare. So we went out and headed out and took our final stroll through Downtown Sydney. |
  |
  |
 Across the street from The
Grace and around the block was Mid City Centre - all the
days we've been here, we never bothered to shop at the
malls. So today we take a quick peek. Nothing strange... jewelry, clothing (bought a T)... music, etc... I listened to some
sample songs... tested one of the top hip-hop albums
advertised. The music got me swaying back and forth so I
decided I had to bring home some of Aussie accents --- |
Check my watch -- time to leave!
| Back
at the hotel, our cabbie was waiting for us. So we say goodbye to bellman Johnny (tell me, does he look 50 to you?) and concierge Edison... |
 |
... and take one last look at the hotel lobby....
...and off we go to the airport.
One thing we didn't realize - flying to Tasmania is considered a domestic flight. So all those gifts we bought in Sydney caused us to max out. No worries, mate. We took care of the issue. And soon enough, we prepared for take off.
Listened to some decent music as we prepared for takeoff. :)
Below, we see the Sydney skyline...
... then the beaches we trekked days ago...

Menu on the plane. |
How about some entertainment? |
 |
... or just enjoy the view... as it wasn't long before we saw land again...
Touch down.
Wow. This is the smallest airport I've ever flown into.
So small that the baggage claim area was one single room, where people lined up along one side and wait until a cart drives up towing everyone's luggage on this train. When the cart stops, everyone runs out to find their baggage.
Wow.
And here's when my Tasmanian adventure starts. I'm not going to talk much after this point as I'm eager to post my pictures up. But please do, when you get a chance, remind me to complete the narration of my trip. :)
Dinner tonight at an Italian Restaurant.

My favorite beer. |

Day 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11 - 12 - 13
I bought The Herd's The
Sun Never Sets. Was low on cash, so I used my
credit. They take VISA ya know. :)
