| Glenn's Journals 12-15-02 Tasmania Sunday morning and we slept in until 8:00 am. Diane and Charles we already leaving for his cricket match this morning as I snuck into the shower to start my day. After my shower I woke Erin up for her turn before the kids woke up. We enjoyed a peaceful breakfast with John before Diane returned and the kids were woken up. John and Diane were nice enough to offer us accomodation in St Helen's for the night which we gladly accepted. After breakfast and some goodbye's we were on our way. This mornings plans included a stop in Evandale for the Sunday market and then off at the ball park to watch Charles play cricket. Charles had explained more of the game of cricket to me last night so it made more sense while watching today. I am still not sure it is a game that I would actually enjoy but you never know. After watching Charles bat for one bowl prior to 14 overs (all cricket talk and I hope I got it right) we headed on to St Helen's on the east coast. On the way to St Helen's we stopped in the Lavender farm just outside of Scotsdale. We arrived into St Helen's around 6:30 pm and stopped at the local grocery store for food and, lo and behold, who did we run into but Marcel and Eveline. What a small world!!! We joined them for dinner at the harbor where we found a boat serving some wonderful seafood. Dinner and conversation were enjoyable as we planned our next few days in Tasmania. We agreed to sharea place with Marcel and Eveline at Cole's Bay and again at Port Arthur. This would help us both with costs. After dinner we stopped in to the caravan park to check out the place that they were staying in. Very nice!! We then made our way around the corner to Diane and John's St HElen home for the night. We found the house with little trouble, found the utility box and turned on the power and water heater before entering the house. The place was a 4 bedroom home with a beautiful iew of the bay at St Helen's. We didn't really get to enjoy the view tonight as it was after 9:00 pm when we arrived. We set up house and read a while before calling it a night. We felt very lucky to have met Diane and John and the kids. We appreciated all of their hospitality. |
