My Tasmania Day2

Saturday 9th May
It is a little dull and overcast today. 'what to do as a tourist in Hobart'? [I am writing this from home, didn't venture into town myself]
Well put on your jacket and pop down to Salamanca Markets. Before strolling the market grab some breakfast. One is spoilt for choice with regard to eating. Wherever you choose to eat though will send you out into the market place feeling comfortably full and ready to tackle the difficult 'problem' of where to start :) The markets at Salamanca are a famous tourist destination but for the locals it is equally as popular. You will see people with large bunches of flowers and their baskets full of so fresh fruit and veggies. Ones ears almsot become confused this the vast assortments of different sounds, from the apple sellers shouting his wares by the band from South America, further on there is the lilting gentle sound of the classical guitar. These sounds are regular visitors but you can also find dotted through the market area young classical groups or a lone child playing the violin. Need a book for the plane journey home? You are sure to find a stall to help you. Once you have filled your shopping list with gifts for those at home you might have found the weather becoming a little indifferent [we had drizzle later in the morning yesterday] What to do now? Do not despair, grab a coffee and then head for the Museum just a stroll from Salamanca.
It is a very good museum and will keep you entertained for hours I am sure. There is also the Maritime Museum of Tasmania also within walking distance.
Finished with the Museums? how about heading over to Hunter Street into the Henry ones complex. Time for afternoon tea? choose a place to eat while relaxing in the IXL Atrium. Soak up the atmosphere of the old IXL Jam factory.
I myself made my daily visit to feed my friend's dog while they are away. Always a pleasure as he makes me so welcome, the chickens are also pleased to see me. Then I went to the garden centre to buy some paving slabs. By the late afternoon the day had become rather sad.
There is a saying in Tasmania. 'always be prepared for 4 seasons in one day'!
