Day 1: Arrival @ Tasmania capital city, Hobart
1st impression when the plane land, the airport very small ah!!! i was really very excited and tis is the 1st time i am travelling alone around. really alone as in no one else to rely on but all by myself and making all big and small decisions on my OWN! cool... so there i am arriving at Hobart domestic airport after abt 3hrs flight from Brisbane (enough time to fly from Spore to Hong Kong ah... heehee...)
Hobart Domestic Airport... kinda small airport ah...Then after abt 20mins bus ride, i finally arrived at my backpackers hostel (photos in next 2 entry), YHA Hostel. check in and unload my luaggage, is time to explore the small city and look out for the day tours i can go for....
after walking around, manage to find the visitor centre and arrange for my day tours before i can rest my mind and take a good look at the city area. is pretty small and all shops closed as early as 5pm ah. haiz... typical Aussie city... well, wat to do leh.... some photos captured along my way around the city...
the main street in the city called Elizabeth Street... is a pedestrain street... no cars...
one of the busy street with cars... basically the street r very well lay out and buildings by the side r mixture of old English style and new modern looks.
tis is the old Post Office in the olden days & in the modern day today, it is still the main Post Office for Hobart...
houses... mountain... tat is the way how Tassie houses lay out.. & according to my day tour guide, most Tassie pple stayed away from city in suburbs located faraway from city... so their houses r often on the mountain, valley or farm areas.one ting not so good abt Tassie is tat the public transport not so convenient. only one form of transport by bus. not as developed as other major Aussie cities. so i chose to walk around ah.. whahaha... can save transportation money too... heehee... after walking around and taking photos, my 1st dinner in Tassie shall be as following...
Flavour of India... well-known and highly recommended Indian food in most Tourist brochures for Tassie intro. (when i taking tis photo, a guy passing by stopped by and said "yeah... tis is a good restaurant tat served excellent food." see how popular it is ah...)
me with background of the internal look of tis Indian restaurant. very authentic feel... nice ambience and lovely dining environment...
looks yummy??? well, it taste really yummy!!! the curry is HOT & marvellous! live up to the recommendation and good reputation...after dinner, so full ah... so wat shall i do leh? all shops r closed. so i decided to walk around the harbour front and dockside. there r a few dockside and pier at Hobart city as it is located near the water front. so there r many yatchs parked at the dockside and alot of cruise ship going in and out the busy harbour front for touristic purposes. the port with big container liners r nearby too.
a view from the harbour front...
me @ the Watermans Dockside... there r many floating "ships" operating take away businesses.End of Day 1....
