Tasmania: Day Two

Tuesday was a day on the mountain.  It made me miss Boone a little bit, but was also a new and separate experience, and so I went with an open mind.  Fortunately, public transport was running that day (they went on strike the next day) so we took the opportunity to hike Mt. Wellington.  Considered a 'guardian of Hobart", this mountain towers over the city and looks over it and offers a sense of security.  With the help of a bartender and a small map, we found our way.  Of course, the weather change quickly.  As we made it to the ridge and to the top, winds that almost knocked us over and freezing temperatures came in quickly.  In these pictures I struggled to stand up straight.  The view was certainly worth it all.
