Of B&B's and Scenery

Vacation in Tasmiania! First night in Hobart. So I booked a B&B for our first night, but their web-based booking system was broken and we ended up having to find another place to stay. The other place was a nightmare of pink and green, smelled like something old and wasn't particularly clean. No pictures. Sushi that night barely ofset the misery. Here's a picture of the nice, pretty, clean place we almost stayed:



Upon leaving Hobart, I determined that the tourist map showed a scenic route, and we followed it. It was paved a little at first, so it wasn't until we were well and truly into the scary stuff, quite trapped, that we determined that dotted line on a tourist map, no matter how thick, is BAD. However, it did bring us out to a pretty overlook:




Then it was back to the scary stuff. Tassie? Here's a note: Your roads are a little alarming at times. This is not the most significant grade we faced in our little economy rental, and that stuff is sheer mud. Slip slidin' away!
