Monday was a fabulous first full day in Tasmania. We got picked up around 7am for a full day adventure tour. Our tour guide was fantastic. His name was Jeremy and he was full of information and more than willing to take photos for us at all the great photo op points! Our first stop was at Spring Bay and Raspen Beach which looked out onto Moriah Island. The morning was cool, but the views were amazing. There is so much water in Tasmania, between seas, bays, rivers, oceans, etc...really really beautiful.
After that we made a stop at Spikey Bridge and Spikey Beach. The places are named Spikey because of Spikey Bridge which is a bridge that is built out of natural stones which have spikes all along the sides to keep the cows and sheep in and not fall off the side of the low lying bridge when being herded across.
The next stop was Friendly Beach which had amazingly beautiful white sands. When we had gone to Hyams Beach in Sydney we were told it was supposed to have the whitest sand in the world, but I think Friendly Beach has even whiter sand. Also, there wasn't another person on the beach so it was just us, so it was nice and serene and peaceful.
The next stop was Coles Bay and the Hazards for some more breathtaking views.
Now that it was lunch time we stopped at Honeymoon Bay to take in the views and eat our sandwiches.
Next on the agenda was Sleepy Bay which was full of adventure. We hiked around a bunch of rocks to take in even more beautiful views, it just kept getting better. We also crawled in and out of a cave which was really fun.
The last part of the day before our 3 hour drive back to Hobart was a visit to Kate's Berry Farm. Here we had a fabulous late afternoon snack. I had a wonderful apple and raspberry pie with vanilla icecream!
On our way home back to Hobart there was a beautiful full arch rainbow with every color visible - a perfect end to our our first full day in Tasmania!
