The city of Hobart










Arriving into Hobart was kind of special. Driving on the road with water on both sides and in the far distance the mountains. It was a really nice sight. On the other side of the bridge we drove straight into the heart of the city. We parked near the wharf and walk around in the bustle of the pre Christmas shopping madness. We found a nice cafe, had something to eat and drink and asked the guys at the cafe where would you go in Hobart if you only had 6 hours. They told us Salamanca Market and Mount Wellington. We liked Hobart, it had the feel of a miniature Melbourne, cosmopolitan, yet clean and pretty. We found a map and started the climb to Mount Wellington.

La llegada a Hobart fue especial, manejando por la ruta y de los dos lados el agua y en la distancia, las montanas. Una vista espectacular. Una vez cruzado el puente estabamos en el centro de la ciudad. Estacionamos en el puerto y caminamos por la peatonal en el medio de las compras pre-Navidenas. Encontramos un lindo cafecito para comer y tomar algo y les preguntamos a los chicos de ahi, a donde irian en Hobart si tuvieran solo 6 horas? Nos dijeron: Salamanca Market y Mount Wellington. Hobart nos encanto, tenia la onda de una Melbourne miniatura, cosmopolitan pero limpia y linda. Conseguimos un mapa y comenzamos la subida a la montana Wellington.
