Tasmania #Day 1

Thursday 1st March

I woke up rather excited at 6am, and got out of bed at
6.3oam, eager to start the day. Chris + Sophie got up between 7.30/8.00am. We
did some last minute packing, cleaned the house and waited for our transport.
The Bus arrived at 10am, we piled on and headed to the domestic airport. We had
a smooth run and got there around 10.40am. Upon checking in our luggage + prams
we then went upstairs for some coffee and morning tea. Sophie + Alicia had a
blast, running around and tiring themselves out. Since we had a lot of time to
spare we decided to have lunch – red rooster- before our flight.
Our boarding call sounded at 12.40pm and we all hopped on the plane. Seated near the end of the plane was Chris,
myself + Sophie, Alex across the aisle Lee, Mum, Dad and behind us Sue+ Alicia,
Des. It was a rather full flight.
Sophie was ubber tired and while drinking her bottle on
take-off promptly fell asleep. And Alicia followed soon after. The flight was a
smooth run, about 3 hours 15 mins, of which sophie slept for 2! It was great the
rest of us entertained ourselves with reading, puzzles or watching movies. We arrived in Melbourne at 8.30pm. There was a
small amount of turbulence on our landing, but Sophie thought it was hilarious
all the bumping around and giggled right through it!
Once in Melbourne we all headed straight to our boarding
area, then split up doing our own thing for drinks and snacks. The boarding
call for Hobart sounded at 9.30pm.
It was a lovely empty flight to Hobart, we were all able to
get about 2 seats each. We had a smooth run of about 50 mins. Sophie was easily
occupied during the flight, but was not too impressed to be seated for landing,
and got a little upset and had a bit of sore ears, but after wrapping her in a
blanket she was happier.
We got into Hobart at roughly 10.45pm. We walked off the
plane onto the Tarmac, and it was a lovely 12-c a bit of a cold shock for us
all. We then got our suitcases and prams, and went in search of our cars. After
filling out the paper work we became proud of owners of a camry for 3.5 weeks
(2.xcamrys, 1xTarago)We then headed off to our apartments. On the way we were
able to catch sight of the Hobart bridge, lit up so beautifully against the
night sky, with the mountain ranges as their backdrop. It truly was
magnificent. When we got to our apartments, Sophie headed off to bed, and promptly
fell asleep around 12.30pm.After making ourselves a nice cuppa tea to warm the
insides we too climbed under our nice warm doonas and quickly fell into a deep
sleep.
