Did you enjoy my part one of Tasmania? I hope you did, cause I have a lot more fantastic photos. It’s a weekend and most of the weekends in Australia, they have open market for you to go to. Just like Melbourne Victoria Market, where you can buy all your things. Ranging from souvenirs, fruits, clothes to meat. This is a slightly smaller one though.
Welcome to the Salamanca Market.
Not many photos taken here as the sky is a little gloomy, which I HATE! SO NOT IDEAL FOR PHOTOSHOOTING!
Men in Skirts? *teehee*
That guy with the guitar, he is amazing with his singing! (sorry for not tipping, am broke ): )
Frigging good sausage! Filling too! 
Look at the size of those sausages.
Look at the crowd, luckily we were there early to avoid the crowd.
That kind of end things in Salamanca. Did not buy much of things in Salamanca as it is not that cheap. I’m sorry that I’m such a cheap-skate but then it’s suppose to be a backpack trip, k? *sigh*
On the brighter side, we went to Bruny Island on the following day! I was super hyped bout it. ISLAND! But it’s not what you think. It’s not like Redang Island nor Langkawi. It’s more like a boat tour around the island. The land is so protected that no car are allowed into the island. They have tracking route but that’s all. If you were to go there for a hike, you have to bring along your tents and so forth. The guide was actually telling us that there is this American still lost up on the hills for more than 3 weeks now. The guide just cheekily said “he is either up there or down here (in the sea).” Me and mum went like 0.0??!! Oh well, shit happens right?
Talking about Bruny Island, if it’s the right season, you can even see humpback whales migrating! Sadly, we were at the end of the migrating season so no luck for us. Sometimes you can even see sharks, dolphins and sea turtles, guess we are not that lucky eh?
Waiting at Kettering port. 
See how crystal clear the water is? And this is suppose to be a port (normally dirty and smelly)
Weather in Tasmania was super cold and you can see from the picture below.
This is where mum has 7 layers of clothes and me and sist have 5. 
Dumb and Dumber. You judge who is which. 
Most of the boats are for sale. Can I Haz One? 
Back swan. I ran back to land just to get some garlic bread for it. 
That’s our ride to Bruny Island. 
Hmm….seems mysterious. 
Even cars can go in. Ours is a van so it’s downstairs. 
Not to confuse my readers, Bruny Island it’s an island itself, however, we went out to the open sea to Adventure Bay, here is a photo to clear things up.
As you can see, this whole piece of map is Bruny island, then small little path connecting the 2 lands is call “The Neck”. The neck has AMAZING scenery, it’s a pity that we didn’t have enough time to stop by to take some good decent photos. Anyway, moving back to adventure bay.
I had to act as a kid so that I could get 50AUD out from our bill. Initial payment is 110AUD but for child under 16 it’s only 60AUD. C’mon, you have to admit you would do it too if you had the choice. I don’t look like 22 anyway (self-gloat)
Sleepy sister and mum.
The water is super duper clear. Not a single plastic in the sea. 
That’s our ride! No no! not the small one, the one behind it. 
That’s the tour that we followed. You guys should Google it as this man is amazing. He does a lot of charity throughout the world. 
We had to wear this weird looking suit that is suppose to keep up from cold.
Can’t recall the name of this plant, but it could grow up to 2 meters in a day. I don’t even grow 2 meters in a lifetime. 
These rocks are from the Jurassic era. Imagine how many billion of years it took to form? 
They call this the breathing rock. It actually sucks in the water and then dispensing after a while. You will be amaze if you were here. 
Sister trying to get a better shot. 
Cold and windy, yet happy. 
Poor mum having sea sick.. 
They are actually not penguins. 
Out of the sudden, cloudy. Weather in Aussie is so unpredictable, just like women. 
And then sunny again. 
What is that? It’s a SEAL! 
Hundreds of seals!
Fat, lazy and SMELLY.
The right time, right location and right snap. 
The other tour boat. 
That’s all from the cruise. It was a 3 hours cruise and it’s worth every penny of it (especially when I save 50AUD). Headed off to the jetty to get back to Kettering. Was still upset that we didn’t stop by The Neck as from what I saw in the Internet, it’s sooooooo breathtaking. Image is from Google.
Tell me that it’s not amazing? 
Even though we didn’t managed to stop at the neck, I did snap some quick photos by the bay.
Waiting to enter the ferry again. 
What better way to express my happiness? By jumping of course! Though I look as if I’m hailing for a taxi. 
This basically ends the 2nd part of my Tasmania post. the last part is coming up really soon. I can’t really cramp everything together as there are just too many photos to blog about. So wait for me 3rd post ya.
Till then,
Au revoir
