    What a treat Tasmania seems to be! It reminds me of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada with its many lush forests, mountains and beaches all together! Although considering how Australia got somewhat overwhelmed by imported rabbits multiplying with no Aussie predators I'm a bit surprised that anyone in Oz would look FORWARD to the Easter Bunny's arrival, it sure looks as though you all had fun with the hidden chocolate eggs AND bunny pancakes. Great that you all and the other family have strong bonds with each other (and Hunter has three friends if not temp sisters)! Thanks for this!

    What a fabulous crossing on the Spirit! My hubby and I were on the Spirit to Tasmania which left Melbourne on Dec 27 1998. It was a night or horrendously scary waves of up to 20m (a force 12 storm) that took the lives of six or seven sailors in the Sydney to Hobart yacht race. I was so petrified I couldn't even be seasick. We've had other crossings since that were far more pleasant!

    Welcome to Tasmania! So exciting to know that Cooper is here in our beautiful state (as you three as well, of course). At the end of our honeymoon, we caught the Spirit of Tasmania (from Sydney) home to Tassie, and we very much thought of it as a mini-cruise. It was a great way to end the holiday. It helped that the Sydney trip was longer than the Melbourne trip, so we had more awake time on the ship. It's gonna be so surreal seeing you guys explore places that I am familiar with. Happy Easter, Hunter.

    • @flyingthenest
      @flyingthenest  2 роки тому

      Soo lucky to be able to bring Cooper across - it honestly was a little bit of nightmare getting him onto the Spirit - we could easily get him across but bookings were booked out itll June so we were worried we were going to get marooned on tassie (not end of the world) but we did find a spot thankfully
