Sunday we were up early and having breakfasted were taken by a kind member of the Holiday Inn staff to the airport terminal.
Our flight was on time and after a fairly interminable wait we were boarded and off to Hobart. The flight was OK but the food we were offered on board was dire. Carrot sticks and hummus with dried out celery. The celery was black on both ends and we pointed this out to air steward who said she was  going to report it back. Who knows if this happened?
The landing at Hobart was smooth and we were walked across the tarmac to the terminal, an experience which one forgets happens at smaller airports. We waited for ages in the terminal for our baggage to appear and our friend Pam arrived in the middle of the waiting process. It is always a joy to be met at the airport by someone you know.
After lunch we walked over to the Bellerive Oval to watch some Shield Cricket between Tasmania and Queensland. As it was so late in the afternoon we got in free and enjoyed a beer in the sunshine watching some high class cricket. The tour manager enjoyed the cricket and the atmosphere of the small crowd, the second first class game of cricket she has attended. I am not sure she is a cricket convert though.
The walk to the Oval across Howrah beach which is beautifully sandy was well worth doing, it is always a delight to be beside the sea which was sapphire blue beneath the shadow of Mount Wellington.
We enjoyed the views from Pam's house across the River Derwent to Hobart and had a great supper before going to bed justifiably tired.
Pam's house sits on the top of a hill and has wonderful views across the river towards Hobart, it is an ever changing picture which we both enjoy.
