had a couple of sleepless nights in that stupid 12bed dorm in hobart to be greeted by our lovely double room with tv in melbourne! now that was nice. except from being next door to the lift which was noisy throught the night, but you cant have everything. we had a turbulent flight from hobart because of the strong winds, but the pilots did a good job. the plane was full of fire fighters off to help with the bush fires. they are still burning! you cant even imagi...

our flight had a bit of a delay because of a technical hitch but we still arrived in hobart at a decent time. we realised on the plane that we had forgotten to book our bus to launceston, haha, but got it booked after we landed and got it for $16 with our student cards which was brilliant considering our shuttle from the airport to the city was $15. we met a girl on the shuttle bus called sammy who was from hobart and she showed us around as we had a couple of ...
