Time to leave for the ship to sail from Devonport, Tasmania to Melbourne, Victoria and we arrived in Devonport 2 hours before sailing.
The first photo is the first view of The Spirit of Tasmania as we wait in line to get checked in.
2nd photo shows going into the ship and you can see on the left of the motorhome the cars parked in the hull.
The next two were taking from the 7th deck of the view of Devonport, then our inside cabin.
We always sail at night then in the early morning we can be on our way up the highway.
This sail we were 2nd of the ship.
The last 3 photos we are on our way up the highway in Melbourne, Victoria.
Well of course you can't go by car across the sea - but that's how Google maps shows it!
And so the adventure began...
ReplyDeleteVery true
DeleteOlá! Matando saudade do seu cantinho lindo!
ReplyDeleteTudo perfeito e de muito bom gosto. Parabéns!
A amizade se enriquece com sentimentos bons quando o coração descobre a grandeza fraternal da vida. Hoje domingo, dia de descanso, mas também de visitar amigas e amigos queridos.
Que seu dia de hoje seja marcado por coisas felizes e que em seus lábios esteja o sorriso da felicidade! Um ótimo Domingo.
Abraços
Thank you.
DeleteI kind of wonder how pleasant or not it would be to sleep in a boat. I've never done it.
ReplyDeleteFor us it's pleasant Adam, own en-suite and only us (2 people) with sole occupancy of the cabin, that's how the cabins are booked. Smooth sail mostly, best way to describe it if it's a smooth sailing, think of being in a vehicle on a smooth road, same as that, if the sea is a bit rough so it the road. Stabilisers on the side of the ship to keep it rocking from side to side, they work very well so therefore you don't rock side to side. It can get rough but to us that's no big deal. So many people just have fear of sailing and some feel ill at just the thought of it.
DeleteLOVE those night shots in particular.
ReplyDeleteWas calm when I went out on the deck to take them, though a little cold but hardly any breeze.
DeleteNever been on a ship like that before, that is an adventure in itself. :) Great shots of going up the highway. Beautiful skies!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill,
DeleteYes, being on the ship is a holiday in itself - there is entertainment, lounges, reading room and so on...mini cruise ship in a way.
Nunca he dormido en un barco. Más de una vez he pensado hacer un crucero, aunque al final no me decido nunca.
ReplyDeleteMe gustan mucho las fotos con luz nocturna.
Besos
One day you might get to sail/sleep on a ship if the opportunity arises.
DeleteNight light is good, not often am I able to take night life.
You were certainly on the road bright and early.
ReplyDeleteWe were Andrew, second off the boat in Melbourne and Devonport on return.
DeleteSo up the road in the dark and watched the sunrise your end.
Awesome photos makes me want to go back to Tassie
ReplyDeleteWell one day Jo-Anne you might return.
DeleteRaining at last in outback NSW and QLD.
ReplyDeleteLove the antics of the locals..........gone 'bananas" or like
wild Banshees.
Maybe the rain was holding off till you and Shanks got home???
Now for some good follow-up.
I think some of your upcoming photos will truly show how bad this drought has been and still is in many areas.
I just hope city slickers take note......our rural cousins need all our help.

Heard about the rain in only some areas Colin. Wonderful, Gold is rain out there. Could well have been holding off till we returned home, not much rain on our trip at all and of course many places hadn't seen rain for 7 years.
DeleteA nice beginning--- I'm glad SOME places finally got some rain.
ReplyDeleteThanks and it's great some rain fell in some drought areas...let's hope more follows.
ReplyDeleteEl viaje empezó muy bien, me encanta. Besitos.
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoy the sail across the sea to Melbourne, Victoria.
