All good things come to an end
I wish that this entry ended on a happy note... but as the subject suggests, all good things come to an end.

- fly to Launceston
- first time driving in Australia!
- it is true, you will automatically turn on the windshield wipers while trying to signal
- drove around a bit in the wine region!
- stubbled upon a taverne with a great view and good grub; I had lamb curry... yum!
- then drove back into town to a park where there is the longest chairlift in Australia
- somehow crawled up the eery eagle lookout... took forever it seemed!
- had devonshire tea, scones, shakes and pie
- walked to suspension bridge and had a great lookout!
- started to rain so we went back to our rented house and decided on a dinner place (btw, Jac did an awesome job in finding places! we had a whole house to ourselves: Charles on Howick!)
- Fee & Me was SO good - must go again
- back at home again to play Taboo and Pictionary

- wake up for breakfast at Aromas - everything smelled so good
- drove towards a berry farm to have milkshakes and icecream
- then to mount elephant pancake for crepes - yum! chilli con carne is pretty good
- as if that wasn't enough food, we drove again to have oysters at an oyster farm
- finally landing in Sheoks where we got a waterfront view and two-storey house!
- we drove into the city centre of coles bay and grabbed some seafood takeaway - scallops a must!
- played the game of Life, watched Harry Potter and Little Nicky

- last day in Tasmania as we drive towards Hobart
- we tried to book kayaking and/or ATV... but it was fully booked... or else no one answered
- had pies for breakfast - Jac had two and a half pies, bringing her total for the trip to seven.... she has two more pies later
- we go to Frecyint National Park and hike up a mountain to see a lookout for Wineglass Bay.... nice white sands and ever blue water
- another stop at a berry farm for some more shakes and dessert
- then, a long drive to Hobart
- we check out Hobart's harbour and have our last seafood meal...crayfish.. yum!
- sadly, we had to leave town and head back to Sydney
- Steven is missing in action... and nowhere to be found =(
