To the ferry!
9 December 12
The last couple of weeks have been leading up to this moment — driving aboard The Spirit of Tasmania for our journey across the Bass Strait. After a few last-minute repairs on the bus, I packed everything into its place and we drove away from Karina’s and into a long queue of vehicles waiting to board the ferry.




We only spent a little bit of time exploring the ship. The girls were pretty excited by their room, and the children’s playroom was small and busy, so we didn’t linger.
In our room, however, we had a grand time. The ensuite bathroom was particularly exciting, and the girls loved working out how to control the dual dials on the shower.

I’m so glad we booked a cabin for this trip. We’ll all have a good (but short) night’s sleep before we disembark around 6.30 tomorrow. And then we’ll have the whole island to explore!

That’s so exciting – almost like traveling to another world- like stepping through that magical wardrobe. Have a wonderful time Lauren and dear little girlies. I wish for you hearts filled with joy, love and peace whilst you explore.

Wow, you got a big room. Ours were always tiny and extraordinarily cramped.
Love the sunset pic!
