Pulling into the drive at Max and Elaine’s home after having left our own on the Eastern coast of the US a full 48 hours prior, it was fabulous they understood we were completely exhausted and ready for bed when we finally arrived. Although Parker woke the next morning with a slight headache, likely due to dehydration from two straight days of travel, Max and Elaine came to the rescue with some Paracetamol and we were off to races. Their location was ideal for the places we planned to see in and around Hobart for the few days we were in town, including a sunset or sunrise visit to Mount Wellington, exploring the unique exhibits at the MONA, shopping at the Salamanca Market on Saturday and diving into the many activities available on Bruny Island. The view from the upstairs room, along with the amenities, including fresh baked local biscuits (ie: cookies), made it a wonderful place to recharge and begin our Australian adventure.
