Vege stalls... selling all kinds of cheap vege... very fresh looking vege!After lunch @ Salamanbca market, i headed back to hostel to prepare for my afternoon cycling tour from top of Mount Wellington. a day i had been longing for... so with all the stuff i tot shld be adequate for the tour, i set off for the tour! juz as we reached the top of the mountain, all was great. rain had stopped and the sky was clearing up. hahaha... juz in time for some photos from the peak of the mountain. overseeing the whole Hobart, is really a spectacular view. definitely much better than Brissy's Mount Cootha. hahaha...
then when i put on the cycling helment, it started to rain... and slowly change to hail... and it snow!!! oh my gosh~~!!! can u imagine, it is already very cold when the strong wind keep blowing and then it started to snow... with me in my bermuda and t-shirt, hahaha... how can i fight the snow sia? so last min, i quickly put on the xtra t-shirt i bought and then my thin thin wind breaker. hop on the bike and quickly cycle down liao as the lower we get thru the mountain, the better the weather condition and temperature will be. with the snow splashing on me, i hardly can see properly and my hands were totally numb! i can no longer feel my hands so i dun even noe if i am pressing the brakes as i cycled down the mountain. hahaha... luckily half way thru, there was tis fireplace which we stopped by to warm ourselves up. i sticked both hands on the wall of the fireplace and is juz heaven ah! continue our journey, we reached the bottom of the mountain after abt 2 hrs time. it was very really great experience cycling in snow!!! hahaha...
