Saturday morning is showery and blustery but does not damper our enthusiasm for heading into Hobart and the Salamanca Market. When encountering interesting photo ops, stop we will! One doesn’t see the sky like this too often.
The Market is like a giant Farmers Market with all types of booths selling locally produced or made items. There is everything from soup to nuts here and we manage to find a few items and a delightful little wool shop where Lynn picks up some Merino sheep fleece and two Merino wool sports-type shirts. One for her and one for me. After our several hours at the market, we wander around downtown Hobart in search of an outdoor shop for camp fuel and a drugstore (or as they are called here a “Chemist shop”.
We have booked ourselves on a day tour of Bruny Island for the next day, so it is back to Richmond in the early afternoon for chores. Laundry, sorting out camping clothes, checking if the stove works, and sorting out food are all accomplished but fill in the remainder of the day.
Evening is concluded with a nice stroll through town to the bridge and return. We are off to bed at our usual 9ish in preparation for our day trip the next day.
