Eight Days with Ingrid (the Prettiest Daughter)

On top of Mount Wellington, for a bird's eye view of Hobart

Champagne and Moo Brew at Mures, Constitution Dock

Dinner, Day 1, Crayfish, Champagne and fresh cherries

An evening's occupation - Scrabble, which we both love

The boat house, Dove Lake, Cradle Mountain

Memorial to Mariners, Triabunna Harbour

Best seats in the house, Day cruise to Maria Island and Isle de Foques

A small selection of the thousands of seals we saw that day

Plus a mother with a calf on the other side of the island

Ingrid's first meeting with a wombat, Maria Island

Happiest Daughter, after patting the wombat

Wineglass Bay from the lookout, a hard day's slog down to the beach and back

Breakfast at Binalong Bay, Bay of Fires

Two young Tasmanian Devils, Cradle Mountain

Eastern Quoll, Cradle Mountain

Richmond Bridge, early morning

Port Arthur on a magnificent sunny day

Well, there you have it.  Eight days in just one viewing.  Ingrid went home with happy memories, a thousand photos and perhaps a need to come back here one day to see the rest.  Although her map is covered with black lines of roads covered, there are many more we didn't have time for.

Ray and I have spent a few days in New Norfolk for rest and recuperation (and a jolly good clean of the motorhome both inside and out), and are now sitting at St Helens waiting for cousins Iris and John to arrive in their rented motorhome when we'll head out to the Bay of Fires for a day or two.  They have no refrigeration, so we have chilled champagne on hand, and all the makings of a delicious (vegetarian) dinner tomorrow night.

That's all for now - will try and update again before the week is out.

    Some lovely photos there. Looks like everyone had a great time. Hope you've stowed the wombat until I get there!!
