Bad News

Wow! In Hobart already! Well......we are in Hobart but not on Bertha, we are staying in a cabin while Bertha is in hospital because she has a fever! She over heated coming over a really steep hill on a really hot day. At first, we thought we just needed a new part for the engine and the mechanic said it would take 4 or 5 days so mum and dad booked us in for four nights in a cabin in a caravan park. But......on the third night dad got a tragic phone call, dun dun duunn.....BERTHA NEEDS A NEW MOTOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So now we are officially 'trailor trash' because we won't have a house for 2 and a half weeks!!!!! AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So now we've got to book 2 and a half weeks in cabins and hotels and to top it all off insurance does not pay for mechanical wear and tear!!!

But all these problems don't stop us having fun and seeing Tasmania and now I will tell you what we have been doing in Tassie. Hilly and pop came and we did heaps with them including most of these. We have gone to the Hobart museum where we saw a stuffed Tassie tiger and a 3D video on Antarctica and there was even an ice block (on top of a freezer) in the shape of Antarctica! We also went to Mona which is a really famous art gallery, my top 3 favorite artworks were the bit.fall, the pink fluffy room with the iPads and the Ping pong tables. Another thing we did was go to Richmond where we saw old Hobart town which is a model village of early Hobart after that we went to the Richmond gaol (jail) and I saw a giant huntsman spider wich was like 10 centermetres long it was so creepy I actually screamed, but I still enjoyed it! Aside from Bertha's breakdown I am really enjoying being on the road and this whole year will be incredible!!!!
