Tasmania, cont'd

A little more on Tasmania...

The tour, in general, was a different experience from before because it was one group of 8 or 9 people for the full time, which made it fun. Before, I went to different places by myself, basically just doing my own exploring. This was a more organized and more family-like trip.



One of the highlights was Cradle mountain. It's apparently called that because the top is actually shaped like a cradle with a baby in it. We hiked pretty much all the way to the top, a lot of effort but well worth it. At the top, the view was spectacular, reminiscent of the Blue Mountains. We lucked out too because the weather was great. Supposedly, there's good weather once every 4 days over there.



Another highlight was Wineglass Bay (again, the bay shaped like a wine glass). This one had a really long walk (5 hours, 11 km) around and up part of the mountains there. The beach along the bay was beautiful, especially around the colored rocks. I will say, there aren't many people in Tasmania but more people should definitely visit.
