Ewan and Mairi's Big Adventure: 02/08/12

Hey!
So after a glorious sleep in Melbourne airport, well as comfortable as it gets on a polished stone floor we finally set off for HOBART. Everything is so easy simple and relaxed-wander off the plane to be greeted by our bags some how all 3 together on the belt just in front of us, along with a seal?! Then wander across and out on to the first bus which drops us out side our hostel. This kinda set the vibe for the trip. The Brunswick Hotel cool chilled and relaxed so after dropping off our stuff we head on out to explore, but the town was DEAD like I mean dead less people then after the zombie apocalypse, but due to our lack of sleep and the sudden and the slightly surprising heat wave we end up back for a snooze in the room. The heat/smell of sick was truly amazing! So next day we set off to hire a car and get out and about.

First things first make a list. Second score off for what ever reason all the bits on the list that aren't possible and we ended up again with a big V6 station wagon. Suitably loaded with supplies we then went looking for cooking appliances as another camping trip with only fruit bread peanut-butter and choc spread wasn't too appealing. Our ingenuity and frugalness resulting in our cooking equipment being compiled off:

1 Gass stove and a few canisters of butane
2 Stainless steel dog bowl for cooking/boiling water
2 Tupperware boxes to eat out of/store food
1 set of chop sticks for mixing
1 sharp knife (other than my leatherman)
1 weird collapsibil strainer thingy
1 very small camp seat (for Mairi as the weight limit is 75kg)
