Today I had lunch at Bruny island, with Luke and his Nanna for Luke's birthday.
My alarm went off at 9am, but I was somehow awake before it went off.
I grabbed some clothes, brushed my teeth, washed my hair, got dressed and my Dad took me into town at 10:30am.
We waited in town for about 10 minutes before Luke's Nan met us. She bought her dog Sheeba along for the ride.
We drove from town, to Kettering (I think that's what its called) along the way seeing a lot of beauty of Tasmania. We also drove past some cows and sheep. :)
We got the where we catch the ferry. We had to wait a little while, so we went into the shop. Luke bought be a 150g packet of fresh raspberries for $6.50. They were so delicious! They taste so much better fresh!
We looked around outside a little I took a photo or two, then the ferry arrived, so we got back in the car.
We got onto the ferry, we were on top, so when it had taken off Luke and I got out and watched the water, and other scenery as we went to Bruny island. I took some photos, it was beautiful. And cold, I had forgotten my jacket though! But it was an experience I didn't want to spend sitting in the car!
And in about 15 minutes, we were on Bruny Island.
Bruny Island is such a beautiful place, it has a lot of trees, and is quite bush like.
We drove down a road, and then down a dirt road. We stopped by the Studio Luke's Nan owns. Its quite small, but big enough for 2 people to live it. It was very nice in there.
There's a porch type area at the end of the house that has a lake underneath it. The water was brown, but that didn't stop Sheeba from jumping right in!
The bathroom there has 3 walls and a window. The window is the 4th wall. They have curtains so you can have privacy! But if they were open, (not that anyone else is very close) people could see right in! Luke said its beautiful to shower at night, as the moonlight comes in through the window, and the shower is good as it's rainwater.
We ended going on a very mini hike (ok, just a small walk really) down a small path to a beach area where they have some chairs, and a little place for a fire to set up. They also have a little row boat. Oh, did I mention I was wearing High Heel boots? It was kind of hard walking down!
When we were walking down the path Luke found a small, single flower growing. It was purple. I took a photo of it.
Oh, also one of the neighbours dog (Dodge) was also following us around. We threw some sticks for them to catch.
We walked back up which was easier than going down. And got back in the car. Luke sat in the back this time since Sheeba was wet, and I didn't want to get wet!
We went to the resturaunt called Bish. We got there around 2pm. We ordered our food, but it took so long to come! Good thing I had the raspberries earlier to keep me going!
I ordered the smoked salmon, spinach, and fetta pizza. It was nice! I also had a glass of bubbly, but don't really like wine or champagne so I ended up giving it to Luke. I just drank water the rest of the lunch.
Luke's Nan (Margret) ordered a pizza too, but a different one. (And by pizza, I mean small enough for just one person). Luke had a chicken fillet burger, with chips on the side.
There was also 2 guys with guitars playing some nice background music. It was a very nice atmosphere.
After we were done with lunch Luke and I had a slice of raspberry cheesecake. It was ok.
After we had finished eating we drove back to the ferry, and were lucky enough to get on straight away.
This time we were in the bottom. We stayed in the car this time.
The sun was shining in on me on the drive home. I was quite tired, I think I may have even fallen asleep once or twice.
We got home around 4pm. And after the big day I ended up falling asleep at 6pm! Although I woke up at around 1/4 to 10pm and decided to check some things online, on my phone. And now its 11:24pm and I'm writing this.
It was such an amazing experience, I had such a wonderful day. It was just what I needed! It was almost like a mini holiday!
I most certainly look forward to going again, when ever that may be!
Well, I think its time for me to try and go back to sleep now. Goodnight! xo
