My Travel Journal

"There isn't much I haven't shared with you along the road and through it all there'd always be tomorrow's episode" - Elton John

I started traveling around the world since early 80s when I had the opportunity to combine business trips with vacations. Then later when my rezeki is in abundance, there were numerous other trips along the way for vacations, most of the time with hubby and the kids when the timing is right. I have also started to compile the journal and photo-pages covering almost more than 45 years of world wide travel. Some destinations I visited just once, others many times. Many of those places are the obvious famous places people would like to visit but some, the casual traveler doesn't even think to try. I have placed links to my travel at the side bar of my personal page, My Life Reflections, and will be updating them from time to time.

My wish is to continue my travel and complete circumnavigate the globe, insyaAllah…

Day 02: 21 August 23 (Monday) 
Route: Sydney - Hobart
Hotel: Hobart Tower Motel, Hobart

There was a 3-hour transit in Sydney. We had to claim our luggage and checked in again at Qantas counters. Our flight QF1539 at 1:20 pm to Hobart International Airport landed at 3:15 pm.

The shuttle from Apex Car Rental fetched us from the Airport to their office for some documentations. We decided to rent a Hyundai Kona for our 12-day road trip around Tasmania.

Bought some provisions from Coles and a A$15 Coles Optus sim card which we were unable to activate. The weather was quite chilly outside. We had scrambled eggs and toast for dinner in the hotel room. Our lodging for tonight was at Hobart Tower Motel, a comfortable 3-star hotel in Hobart New Town. It provided fridge, microwave, kettle and a small kitchenette complete with crockery.

Hobart is the capital of Australia's island state of Tasmania. It sits on the River Derwent. The city's backdrop is 1,270 m high Mount Wellington. Hobart is one of the only major cities where you can see the southern lights year-round. Its proximity to the south magnetic pole provides the spectacular atmospheric phenomenon aurora australis, or the southern lights. Best viewing spots include Rosny Hill Lookout and Mount Wellington Lookout.

We will visit the two lookout points at the end of our road trip.
