Bruny Island and Wilderness Cruise - a highlight

2016-11-02

The long awaited day trip...

Bruny Island cruise - full day tour $225 per person but well worth it

Met at the Hobart waterfront managing to find a coffee along the way. thenonto the bus with all the others for the trip down to Kettering retracing our journey of yesterday. Then onto the ferry across to Bruny Island - fabulous guide. Stopped off along the way - walk up many steps to a lookout with marvellous views. Then stopped at a chocolate shop - delicious. Arrived at Adventure Bay where we had an included morning tea. Then for the highlight - dressed up in our provided raincoats and onto the boats for our Southern Sea adventure. i just loved it. MR isnt so keen on the ocean and boats but we had him drugged up and I sat on the outsideseat. It was cold and windy but exhilerating. Great commentary and saw lots of birdlife and seals etc. No whales today but dolphins and shearwaters. Was fantasticgoing out into the Southern ocean - could really feel the difference with the currents etc. Lots of photo opportunities and looking at geological formations. I was just in my element. Twas 3 hours on the boat all together and then back to Adventure bay for an included lunch before getting back into the minibus to go back to Hobart. 

Decided to treat ourselves with a nice dinner out on the Hobart waterfront - lovely looking restaurant but such a shame about the food - very expensive for not a lot and it didnt even taste good.
