Weather: Cold! (Once we got to Tasmania)
We packed up this morning, shed a tear that we were leaving our bunk-bed-laden room, and took a shuttle to the airport. We took our first flight to Alice Springs for one hour, took a twenty-minute rest as a layover, then headed on a two-hour flight to Melbourne, followed by a one-hour flight to Hobart in Tasmania! Phew! That was a lot of flights!
We took a shuttle to our new hotel, the Hotel Grand Chancellor (formerly a Sheridan) and checked in. The man behind the counter gave us a wink and upgraded our room! He must have thought we were newlyweds! 
The room overlooked the harbor and was on a corner! The best part … it was cheaper than our “room” in the Outback! What a difference not having a monopoly makes!
After getting settled, we got dressed up and went to dinner at Mures (upper deck) right across from our hotel! It was a great meal (and great company). The fish we ate was caught that morning and Hilary had the best oysters of her life.Afterwards it was a bit chilly so we (being very smart) got some ice cream from a boat vendor called “Flipper’s” and walked around a bit. We headed back to our hotel and wrote home on their computers, and went to bed. We didn’t get much done today because we spent all day traveling.
