Xiao hou hou and da zhu zhu go on holiday: day 4






Day 4 was our last day in Tasmania :( We woke early, had a rather slow breakfast in the town (in the only cafe that was open) and went to the internet cafe because I'd forgotten to print out our return tickets and so didn't know when the flight left. We visited Launceston Gorge. I finally managed to convince Sha to go on the chair lift - the longest single span chair lift in
the World. This chairlift brought us to the edge of the gorge where we walked around some spectacular flowers, watched the peacocks, had coffee and found a big blue-tongued lizard before walking back over the swing-bridge across the gorge. We drove back into the town and went shopping (where I bought Sha her first English book - My
Family and Other Animals - to make up for parking the car a few miles from the shops), had lunch and finally drove to the airport. Sha lost her boarding pass.

The flight back was fun and then, after a big argument with our taxi driver (which Sha enjoyed), the holiday was over. The holiday was great!

We were reluctant to leave Tasmania, we like the peace and quiet life there. We drew a happy full stop for our Tasmania trip by " fighting" with each other with Tamania devil and tiger glove at the airport :P what a awesome holiday~ :D
