Never again will I economise on travel if it means I have to sit all night! Why didn't I remember that the reason I don't fly any more is the agony of sitting for hours. I took an ocean recliner rather than a cabin, thinking that I could roam around whenever I got tired of sitting. It didn't occur to me that the cafe, restaurant and bars on board all closed during the night. It was a very long night without a wink of sleep. I did gather all the spare blankets and pillows and try to make a flatish surface from my chair. That didn't help at all. I couldn't move around much without disturbing those who were trying to sleep. Yes, I know, I am a whinger! I am not meant to travel economy - I need to be a first-class traveller.
My last day in Tasmania passed quickly. I got away from Wynyard fairly early after Helen left for work and meandered along the coast. I met Red Hatter Merlene for lunch in Burnie and then explored Devonport. When I arrived a few weeks ago, I had just hit the road so I enjoyed roaming around the town for a while. No more to be said about the trip.
When I arrived on the mainland I set the GPS and headed straight to Geelong before I made an decisions about where to go. I recognised the sculptures and carousel along the waterfront though I don't remember when I visited Geelong previously.
