The Blogger is Resting!

At last I get a chance to be the blogger.(Ann)   We arrived back at the Gold Coast Friday evening after spending 13 days in Tasmania.  Tasmania was above and beyond our expectations.   It is filled with mountains, lakes, rivers, seas, National Forests, good food, good wine and spirits, great service, friendly people and certainly an A+ rating.  We tried to see and do it all and I am sure we came close.  The one thing that still amazes Mike and me is the most unlikely looking restaurants are by far the best for eating.   We are still trying to deal with the coffee.   Also you order at the counter and they bring you your food.   Best of all – there is NO tipping.


 Probably the only negative was the very narrow winding roads through the mountains.  Brad was the chauffeur.  He drove the whole way.   The left side of the road and the drop offs cause a bit of concern but Brad was the best.  Mike and Barb truly planned a wonderful adventure.  I do not think we missed anything and we had some awesome accommodations.  Sometimes the best experiences are the ones unplanned and we had some of those.  We had many laughs and great times with Barb and Brad.  Our adventures are just beginning here on the Gold Coast so keep tuned in; the best is yet to come.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
