21st August...Travelling Back to Hobart

After we had breakfast, we finished packing and put the cases in the car, we then returned the room key before heading back to the car hire to drop the car back.



We got the transfer bus to the airport and checked in. Our flight to Brisbane left Cairns at 11.50am.





We arrived at Brisbane airport at 1.40pm, 17 minutes early.


Coming in to land at Brisbane.




We were supposed to have 1 hour wait at Brisbane airport but the flight was delayed, so instead of the 3.05pm departure, we left at 3.50pm. 



We had planned to get the kids Krispy Kreme doughnuts from Sydney but with the delay we got them at Brisbane, which was just as well, we only had time to run from one plane to the next at Sydney.




I bought a kookies 'n kreme, vanilla maxibon, lotus biscoff ring with a swirl of biscoff creme and an original glazed ring.



The plane to Sydney took off at 3.50pm.






Coming in to land at Sydney.



We landed in Sydney at 5.10pm and our flight to Hobart was departing at 5.58pm. We went to check in and was advised that our seats had been changed to the emergency exit seats, which meant more leg room!, there was a bit of a delay so we didn't take off until 6.15pm.




There was a bit of a delay, so we didn't take off until 6.15pm.



We arrived in Hobart at 7.50pm, disembarked and collected our suitcase, which incredibly, was one of the first off!, that has never happened to us before, so it was a pleasant surprise. We got on the transfer bus to the carpark, then drove home.


The kids were very pleased to see us as was Hamish. We sat and chatted for a while before they went to bed.

Aussie Pie Floater

With Australia day fast approaching, I had to share this Aussie icon. The pie floater is a meat pie submerged in thick pea soup, the pies are traditionally turned upside down sitting or sometimes submerged in the pea soup. The first time I had ever heard of this was while watching an episode of Billy Connolly's Australian tour. He was doing a show in Adelaide and indulged in one of these south Aussie icons. We tried a similar thing called a tiger pie from Harry's Cafe de Wheels on the Sydney harbour, the Tiger is a meat pie served with scoop of mash a scoop of mushy peas and a scoop of gravy, it was really delicious.  A pie floater put simply is a meat pie on top of or covered in green pea soup with a choice of sauce squirted on top, the usual being ketchup, brown sauce, mint sauce, gravy or bbq sauce, some people also enjoy vinegar over their floater, I suppose the options can be endless, whatever 'floats' your pie!!. I searched a few variou...
