The Talking Traveller

The last few days as you (people readign this) know was and is spend in Tasmania. My 3 day tour ended saterday in Hobart where I've stayed since then in the Allport Hostel. I've had wonderfull walks through rainforests and hugged a tree. The tall trees we saw at Russel falls are said to be the tallest flowering plants in the word, and the tallest one the is 79 meters. Yesterday we visitited the Cadbury chocolate factory and I bought 4x125g caramel blocks and 10 brunch bars for only $8. The tour throught the factory was fascinating and quite tempting as well, stacks of choclate surrounding you and you are not allowed to touch it, ultimate self-discilpine exercise i tell you. Today we took a drive up Wellington Mountain and we where blessed with clear skies so we had a wonderfull veiw of the city Hobart. One thing about tassie, it's blerrie cold! I've never been so cold im my life! But, the people here really have warm hearts so that makes up for it :). We stopped of at he cascade beer brewery and had a certain Ale which is the best beer iv'e ever tasted (no, not a cliche, I'm not into cliche's) realy very good. I've visited some interresting towns such as Sheffield , the town of murals, with beatifull artwork painted all across town and Queenstown, which was once a copper mine megga.

My count at this stage is 760 contacts, I see that 1000 coming up soon. My feelings about my speech at this moment is that I'm on my way to something.......to  certain stage, level of control that I desire. I focusing on the journey towards that and using my experiences (good and bad ones) and especially the people I meet to correct myself and guide me on the way. Thanks to everyone who is supporting me and for the kind comments and e-mails. I'll reward you all with some nice pics pretty soon.
