Tassie Trip – Day 2


This is what Christina’s sat nav had on display in the morning.

The PA system on the boat woke everyone up at 6AM sharp, we all basically woke up and met up at the bar. It was at this point that we found out Nath had to share his tony room with a random guy, and gay jokes ensued.


Epic twisty roads.

Tassie was sunny. Cold in the shade and bitey hot under the sun. Perfect weather so we hit the twisties and Nath led us (yes his R36 is damn fast!) through some of the best roads I’ve ever driven. Sections of tight twisty roads, fast sweeping sections, you name it, Tassie has it.


View from one lookout.


VWGolf RPRSNT!


Another lookout with a glassy lake.


It was at this lookout that I spotted a picture where the guy holding a trout looked (to me) a lot like Cam. Funny thing was that Cam cracked up and thought so too. For the rest of the trip Cam was known as Tassie Cam!


We unfortunately came across a dirt road, but slowing down wasn’t so much a problem when there were views like this to be had.


It’s the me. Tassie Cam outside was being chased by a huge bumblebee (he was attacked by bee’s all week!).


After the twisties we headed into town to check-in. Fish and Chips at the wharf and of-course some local beer to wash it all down.


When we got to our Hotel (Hotel Charles) it turns out Porsche had chosen it to be the hotel of choice for their 60th Anniversary guests. Perfect!


Carerra GT – this thing was parked in the hotel foyer. I’ve never seen one in real life. Blew my socks off.


I made love to it with my camera, lol, seriously though, it’s art.


Our hotel room was small but cozy, the King size bed was extra comfy and it turns out the staff have all bought one as well, so too the Royal Family in England (note to self: must get the brand name off Nath!).


Our hotel carpark later that night. I creamed my pants pretty much.


Damn, so nice.


Fuuuuu.


We had dinner at the Black Cow which came highly recommended. I had the Rib Eye, dry hung, 21 days on the bone. The taste of their grill was epic, so was the cut of meat. As good as Rockpool on a good night.


Creme Brulee.


Nath cracking us up with some dirty stories from his time in the Navy. Yep that’s me crying with laughter.


So much belly laughter it hurt!

    How amazing is the Carerra GT? I Have been lucky enough to see it twice in the last two months! once at the Grand Prix and once down at wrest point casino for the finish of Targa. Wish I had known you were in Tassie, I would have come and said hi!
