Hobart, Tasmania

We spent today (Tuesday) in Hobart, the largest city in Tasmania, which is not very big (127,000).  Tasmania was started as a British penal colony at Hobart.  It is a quaint town with an historic harbour area that has been completely restored. It is a very pretty place.

Some replica sailing ships were in port for the recent boat show.

Our beautiful ship in Hobart harbour

The pilot had a tough time getting off the ship as the sea was getting rough
