Our weekend in Tasmania.

 

 

l know l promised you lots of photos!!

 But my mind is having trouble settling on one thing.

We could not have asked for a better weekend filled with wonderful things to see,

 fabulous food to eat, amazing sights to see, fantastic friends to hang out with,

 and a shared experience that has left my friends and myself slightly muddled.

You see, on our flight home last night, we had an aborted take off at the very

 last second before we left the ground.

It was a very frightening experience. Yes, we survived!

And finally made it home 4 hours later than expected, thankfully in a different plane.

But today some have sore necks and shoulders.

 l have had a day of being lightheaded and mild dizziness.

( l think low blood pressure)

 

So l have a few photos. Not as many as l would like. 

l just can't settle to any one task today.

 

Here are the highlights of our weekend.

 

A visit to The Drill Hall Emporium in New Norfolk.
 l have enough photos from this amazing place to fill 2 blog posts.
Watch for them in the future.
