Becky and I went to Salamanca Market this morning. Its a big deal here and thousands of people turn up every Saturday morning to buy and sell. Becky wanted yarn. I just wanted to enjoy the ex-perience.

Hobart is quite proud of its history, the first European to find the island was Dutch seafarer Abel Tasman (picture above) in 1642. He called it Van Diemens Land, and it would later bear his name being changed to Tasmania in the mid 19th century.

After the market we looked at an ex-hibition of classic cars in the park across the road. I bet Bea and Jo-Meg would love these.
