A map of your track today

 

It seems they are lost and about to go around in circles but with corners.

15 December Hobart

 

Arrived about 8:00

Salamanca Markets were a little disappointing less locally made items more mass produced bought in from China sold off not so cheep, the markets stalls at the pier were more the traditional type, so my credit card lived to fight another day.

 

all aboard 1:30 diner tonight was at the buffet we were going to do chin chin but it was a long wait and to be frank I was pretty buggered

 

I agree the markets at the dock are very good. The handmade jewellery is very popular with the ladies.

Hope GUT survives Melbourne today, because his wallet may not.

Was out very early enjoying a coffee (at the coffee shop) enjoying the view of the bay and there was Jewel coming in - such a beautiful vista.   Probably too early for Mr Gut to be up but it would be a lovely sail in or at least having breakfast in the buffet sailing up the bay.

Nice, until Gut gets onto his Balcony anyway.😛

16 December Burnie

 

Pouring rain but clearing to a nice day.

 

We hired a car, which needed picking up at the Airport, so shared a cab with others doing the same and had a road trip to the food trail.

 

Visited Ashgrove cheese factory, Anovers chocolates, berry farm, cherry farm and in and out of many small villages.

 

Enjoyed so much we are now thinking of a road trip next year.

On one cruise Mrs G bought a scarf the lady spun the wool and wove it, sending photos every few days, that was in Hobart at the pier.

 

so we walk into Makers Markets at Burnie and she says “look they sell scarves by the lady that made mine”.

 

I then saw a lot more by the same lady and mentioned her prior purchase. Lady pipes up (out of view) “and I posted it to NEWCASTLE,”. 

 

So mrs G just had to buy another one.

You could have parked at Station Pier last evening after Golden left.

Of course, you could not go out to dinner in Melbourne as everyone gets murdered going out to dinner.

Damn those murderers, they are ruining Melbourne's tourism.

Ooh yum ,cheeses, berries, chocolates and cherries. Looks like Mr  Gut's favourite check in person will be getting some delicious goodies when the Jewel gets back to Sydney on the 20th 😁

Sorry in advance, it would be at least a 30 minute window between him eating breakfast and catching up with you.

No we were told couldn’t bring food on, so we ate it before returning to the ship.

[GUT2407]

We were told, wrongly it transpired, that we couldn’t bring food back on the ship.

 

so just a choc coated strawberry, the size of an apple, some samples and a few chocolates for the road

[MicCanberra]

Told you Gbenjo that you would be out of luck.

I missed out on my Tasmanian gin.

 

made up an excuse that NCL would not let the bring it on the ship.

 

From the look of the course from Burnie, I think the captain may have disposed of it.
