The funniest Xmas Present

El regalo mas gracioso este ano fue este par de anteojos nerdy. Nos hizo reir mucho, todos los usamos por un rato y nos hicieron sentir mas inteligente.

Christmas 2011

Christmas was a night of celebrating at the Zalewski's house. Food, drink and music animated the party and we were all very excited to open our presents after the clock struck 12. I had excellent presents so I guess Santa must have thought I was a good girl this year. Unfortunately Christmas also passed too quickly. I guess it was hard finishing work so late this year (22nd) and with everything we did this year it just seems that no amount of holidays are going to be enough to rest.

More of Cradle Mountain

Looking at these photos makes me want to be there again, it was so beautiful but it passed so quickly that it now feels like a blur. The echidna was so cute! She waddled around in search for food and didn't even care about us.

Mirando estas fotos me dan ganas de estar ahi otra vez, pero con mas tiempo, fue tan lindo! Paso tan rapido! la echidna era tan simpatica, caminaba por alrededor buscando comida y ni le importaba que estabamos todos ahi sacandoles fotos.

Ultima cuota de Tassie: Cradle Mountain

Camino a Cradle Mountain: todo un camino de montana hermoso para donde mirabamos y a cada curva teniamos una nueva vista. Estuvimos cortos de tiempo para recorrer a pie los diferentes caminos una vez ahi, pero lo poco que hicimos me mato. Unas subidas empinadisimas y de interminables escaleras....precioso!

Cradle Mountain: the road there was beautiful in every turn. A new postcard greeted us from every new angle. We didn't have enough time to do all the bush walks there, but the few we did killed me, so steep!

Dining at the Wharf

At night we had a nice fish and chips dinner at the Wharf, the best place to eat fish and chips apparently (according to a Hobart girl). After dinner we had a stroll around the wharf to say goodbye to Hobart and started our careful drive back to Launceston. One thing that amazed us on the road was the amount of road-kill. We were so scared to run over a little creature that drove way below the speed limit.

A la noche cenamos pescado y papas fritas en el Puerto, el mejor lugar para comer pesacado en Hobart aparentemente. Despues de cenar caminamos por los alrededores del puerto para despedirnos de Hobart y emprendimos la vuelta a Launceston. Una cosa que nos sorprendio de andar en la ruta en Tasmania fue la cantidad de animalitos muertos en la ruta. Teniamos tanto miedo de atropellar a algun cangurito que volvimos por debajo de la velocidad permitida.

Pretty Salamanca Garden

What a beautiful yet simple garden in the heart of Salamanca Place in Hobart. The crimson red of the cherry trees contrasted against the grey stones of the walls and brownish grey of the pebble floor. It had a winter feeling yet one can't help but feel optimistic when looking at it.

Que hermoso y simple era este jardin en el corazon de Salamanca Place in Hobart. El rojo fuerte de los arboles de cherries contrastaba contra las paredes de piedra gris y las piedritas amarronadas del piso. Tenia un poco de sensacion de Invierno este jardin pero asi y todo uno no puede dejar de sentirse optimista al mirarlo.

In and around Salamanca Place

Salamanca Place is a beautiful area in Hobart where you can find restaurants, bars, cafes, shops, art galleries, live music and lots more! Full of night live and people, Salamanca is really alive and worth every square inch. We walked in and around, bought some souvenirs and enjoyed a live performance for free! Everyone was there laughing, eating and drinking the year away.
