Saturday 14-12-2013 (Spirit of Tasmania)


Hi all- apologies for the late post, we only took minimal luggage into our cabin of the ferry and therefore didn’t bring the laptop.

We left Serviceton at about 9:00 and drove. And drove. And, unsurprisingly, drove. Apart from a brief stop for ice coffee and lunch, we drove until we entered Melbourne. Having not been to Melbourne since I was 7 (8?) the sight of copious amounts of skyscrapers, an immense bridge and two immense ships in the harbour was very cool. After getting slightly lost (ahem, Navman) we made our way to the boarding area and waited an hour or two before driving into a long line to board the Spirit of Tasmania.

=Fast forward an hour and a half=

Finally, we were directed onto the boat via a very steep ramp and left the bus with many other cars, vans, buses and caravans. Numerous flights of stairs led us to our miniscule cabin. Once everyone was on board, the ship slowly set off for Tassie!

At about 6:00 in the morning, after a sleepless night for Mum, Dad and I (Maddy was snoring away, lucky thing) we arrived in Tassie!

Bye J
