A day at Salamanca Market and City

You can't say you have been to Hobart as a tourist if you have not been to the Salamanca Market open every Saturday.

Hmm... pretty small market, and very touristy. Things here are not so cheap to buy really. Just sampled some food here and there.

Decided to grab something to eat. And we had a sausage from this stall.

Then went wealking around in the city. The city is really small.... gives me a feeling of a shrunk Melbourne City? Haha... well, Hobart has its own beauty as well, there is generally less traffic around the area. One thing for sure, parking around here is extremely expensive on weekday, and hard to find as well.

Later on, went to the Tasmania Museum. Didn't take any pictures, but the free admission make the visit quite worthwhile. They have this small little corner on the upstair dedicated to the Antartica Research. Little that people know that Hobart is where one of the Ice-breaker ship -- Aurora Australis sail to the antartica for research purposes.
