good-bye tasmania

monday morning we awoke to a barrage of alarms trying to make sure we didn't oversleep. none of us wanted to go through what we had on the previous flight- running down the concourse not sure if our plane left or not. we arrived in plenty of time and had a gorgeously short flight of 40 min.!

it was actually kinda sad to lift off and see the rolling hills of tasmania disappear. it really is a gorgeous island.

we flew into melbourne and rented a car. we traveled for a few hours to albury and found a motel. motels are pretty tricky around here. you never know what you'll find, but fortunately we were lucky this time.

our luck kinda dissapeared when we went to look for something to eat. joseph was hungry for rice so we agreed to chinese. what we didn't know that in this town (well it's more like lancaster city) restaurants are closed until later on in the evening. it's only the creameries and milk bars that are open. we did find something eventually, but not without paying way too much for the, umm, food. that's when we all wished for mom's food. :)

our goal is to drive to sydney sometime before thursday night in order to catch our flight home. what happens in between now and then...who knows. we travel a kilometer at a time. :)
