Exchange Year in Tassie 2016/17: A few days around Hobart

Last week I went down to Hobart and stayed at Corris place. I took the bus from Burnie to Hobart and t took me like 6h again. At this stage 6h aren't that long anymore. On Monday night we went to the Rotary meeting in Sorell, Corris host club. Was good to see some Rotary people again who were at the rotary camps. On Tuesday morning we had to get up early cause we got picked up at 5.45am for the dawn service at 6.00am. It was Anzac day which is a holiday in Australia. It is a holiday for thinking about the Australian who were in the wars. They just talked about war stuff and yeah it actually was pretty boring but everyone just goes. The good part was we've got free brekkie afterwards. We got fried eggs, scrambled eggs, 2 sausage, bacon and bread. It was a lot. After the service we went to Bruny island. Bruny Island got a north and a south part and they are connected with just a small ground strip, which is called the neck. On both sides is water.

Bruny island is very pretty. It got nice beaches and nice rain forest. It would be a nice place for camping.

In the evening we went into town and got Fish and Chips, which was the best fish and chips i've ever tried. The next morning we went with some friends of Corri to Richmond, which is a nice little town for tourists. It owns the oldest bridge and the oldest church of Australia. They were build in the 19 century, which isn't old at all for Europe. In the evening Corri made some Pizzas and invited some friends. Erik from Sweden and Liisa from Finland came as well. We had heaps of fun. On Thursday morning we went to Oatlands. Oatlands is a village with maybe 700 people. Corri spend his first 6 month there. We went and visit the host families of Corri and the we went to some friends of Corris host dad and there was a girl who has a horse and she taught us a bit how to ride. It was pretty scary but it was fun.
