Honeymoon Bay at the Freycinet National Park

After visiting the Wineglassbay Lookout, we continued our journey exploring the Freycinet National Park by visiting the Honeymoon Bay. We had promised Dhaffin that we would take him swimming after the hiking. There were only three groups of people on the Honeymoon Bay, made this area really perfect for the honeymooners:p This was our very first sight of the Honeymoon Bay:

Wineglassbay Freycinet National Park

First of all, I have to say it all over again that this place is the reason why I visited Tasmania. And I am glad I did! Sit back and enjoy our experience visiting Wineglassbay at the Freycinet National Park as well as all the pictures:)

We left Launceston at about 8 am on Christmas day and drove straight to Freycinet. We took the route of: Launceston - Campbell Town - Lake Leake - then to Freycinet National Park. We enjoyed beautiful views along the way, yes we enjoyed every second of it:)

Launceston Day 1

After visiting Ross, we continued our roadtrip in Tasmania and arrived around 4 pm at Launceston, another beautiful city in Tasmania. We went directly to our hostel which is called Launceston Backpackers Hotel. We choose this hostel due to its reasonable price (double room with a shared bathroom cost us AUD 53) and also because it has a free parking which we needed for our rented car. The hostel replied promptly to our emails prior to our departure. Actually we were planning to come late on the Christmas eve, and they have arranged how we could do our self check in. 

The staffs were really helpful. Other thing we like was our comfortable bed and also the spacious room. We also cooked our meals in this hostel as it is only 5 minutes away from Coles and it has a huge and clean kitchen. By the way, we noted that the building of our hostel was built in 1905! Wohooo...

Roadtrip from Hobart to Launceston: Short Transit at Beautiful City Called Ross

On our second day in Hobart, we rented a car from Thrifty to be used for the next two days. We have booked the car 5 months in advance, so that we have a fairly cheap price for the peak Christmas period. Too bad the GPS we’ve ordered was not available, Thrifty gave us a map instead:p 

We left Hobart at 11 am, and followed a car of our friend Zaratul Khairi and his family, as he got a GPS inside his car. We took the highway heading to Launceston and enjoyed beautiful sights along the way.

Exploring Hobart by Bicycle

On our second day in Australia, we took a morning flight from Melbourne Tullamarine airport to Hobart, the capital city of Tasmania. We couldn’t manage to extend our car hire, so we were looking for the alternatives on how to transfer from Hobart airport to the Hobart city. 

Upon arrival, we saw this City Hotels Shuttle. We asked the driver, and he said that the seats were still available. It cost us AUD 17 per person, expensive, but we didn’t have any other choice that time. But the driver was really nice, he act as our tour guide on the way explaining the interesting places to visit in Hobart.
