After an uneventful and quick flight to Tasmania, we are landed in Hobart, getting our first rain and realizing that, indeed, this is getting towards winter. A quick run (by bus) up Mount Wellington put us into rather chilly temperatures, with winds and lots of fogs. Hobart is a lovely town, used to be the major city of Australia, but now is very much a larger fishing town with a Bergenesque line of old warehouses (though of course not medieval) filled with arts and crafts and food.

One interesting technology observation today: The airline loaned out ipads (for a fee) for inflight entertainment. A simple way to equip an older plane with the options newer airplanes provide with the built-into-the-seat screens.
One major take away -- the phrase No worries-- pretty much standard reply to anything that otherwise may spark a you are welcome or don't worry about it or anything else that you can possibly see as a reply.
