We got up around 9, and i learned that carmen had bee puking all night - i slept right through it! she kept puking throughout the day until late afternoon, every hour or so :-(
we trundled along to the historical site of port arthur anyway, and had a quick look around in the daylight! i found a convict from shrewsbury!! william saxton!! we were going on a harbour cruise as part of our ticket, but she had to jump off at the last minute to puke! i still went on it though, went around Puer Boys Point, the site of the first juvenile prison in the british empire! they started it as the young convicts were uneducated and unskilled and so had no use. we also went round isle of the dead, wher all the convicts were buried, around 1100 bodies there, and it was a tiny island!!
started back to devonport, stopping a couple of times for food, water and fuel, getting back to carmens at around 4:30pm. carmen was meant to be going to a work do but was too ill to go, so i went to speedway with her dad and Boo, watching sprint cars race!! lots of fun! very loud, and they race on clay, so during the first few laps you get sprayed with lumps of the stuff, its like its raining poo!
indulged in some chips and gravy then doughnuts, and had a look round the pits, close up at all the cars. the back tyres are absolutely massive!! and the steering thingy (iv forgotten the technical word!) rotates right between their knees!! scary! i got a couple of posters, one was signed by the driver! hehe!
very tired from our roadtripping so went to bed pretty soon after getting back!!
