Time Flies

As they say, time flies when you're having fun. Once again I have been out of range for a while, still no phone coverage as that is with Virgin. This iPad is with telstra and not always reliable. I had three days with Zudi in Hobart. It was good to stretch out in a real bed for a few days and to leave the van open to air. I went to a Red Hatters lunch and met the twenty ladies there. There is wonderful fellowship with people I've never met before. I hope to stay with Zudi on the way back.

Before I left Hobart, I met with Judith and David whom Jan and I had met on a cruise a couple of years ago. They may not be the King and Queen of Hobart but they are certainly the Duke and Duchess. Both have generations of family involvement in Tasmania. We had coffee at the Henry Jones Hotel which I think is  part of the old IXL buildings. David's grandfather was the original Jones there, I think.  We had a quick walk through the Salamanca markets and will spend more time there next weekend if I am around.

From Hobart I went to the Wall in the Wilderness - a continuing work of art detailing the history of the area. The artist has already spent six years working on his timber sculpture. It is hard to capture the proportions and the scope of the wall as photos are not allowed and the only postcards show small areas of detail. The work is incredible. Muscle definition is beautifully portrayed. Even veins in the hands, neck etc stand out. The photos here are taken of the postcards I bought.
