Sunday 28th to Monday 29th September – Glenorchy
So, after the previous night’s ordeal we arrived in Glenorchy at a silly time in the morning and slept in the car. When it was a reasonable hour, seven or so, we checked into a motel and slept. We woke up at around lunch time and explored the tiny town, had a gorgeous pub lunch and then headed back to the motel where we shared a bottle of wine.
The following day was very chilled as I was seriously in the need for recovery. I slept, felt sorry for myself and then headed into town and went round the possum fur shop. Possums are a pest here but the locals still seem to like making anything they can out of their pelts. There were some lovely hats and jackets and some slightly less lovely nipple and belly button warmers! We also headed down to the jetty which looked over the lake, although it was slightly windy so we didn’t stay there for too long.
