Friday 25th. Sept. Today's rain is even worse than yesterday and at 4pm it is still bucketing down but no mist so we should be thankful for small mercies. We went into town and booked our ferry to Tasmania we go on the 2nd. Oct. and it's an overnight trip leaving Melbourne at 7.30pm and arriving Devonport Tas. At 6:00am. We have booked a recliner chair and if we find that too tiring or uncomfortable we will book a cabin coming back. We have not booked return because we hope to stay about 2 weeks but if the weather is like this it might be a turnaround trip. We decided to brave the rain and go to the tulip festival which of course was a washout. It is probably a nice day out in good weather but one had to feel sorry for the stall holders, the food outlets, the entertainers who played to rows of empty chairs, the families whose children were finding every bit of mud and most importantly ourselves. We spent about an hour there including getting our free drinks then came home changed our clothes and tries to get rid of the mud.
