Nearly half way between Victoria and Tasmania

[Frood]

Having a coffee in the ship's dining lounge area and watching people be sick into barf bags. Pulled 50 bucks out of a pokies machine and ate roast beef, salads, and some massive oysters.



I'm not getting why all the sick people. There's only mild turbulence and rolling. You'd get more at an amusement park.



(That was 5 minutes ago)



In the meantime an infant being carried by her mother has projectile vomited on my left shoe. Not a direct hit but splatter. Wasn't her fault but still grossssss!

I like being on boats too. I am hardly a marine expert, but is sure enjoy being on boats.

Enjoy your rides and trip!!!



Best boat ride I ever had - England to the Isle of Guernsey (50% of my heritage is from there - 25% French section, 25% English section - they were not supposed to intermix in those days but my grandparents were rule breakers  ac_biggrin )



Not a real big boat .. We had a room, but I wanted to be on deck - it got really rough, tips of waves crashing against the skipper's cabin ... people barfing over the rail  ... I went as far ahead as i  could to feel the spray ... up up up ... pause .. down down down  .. boat shuddered at bottom of each big wave ...  loved it, will never forget it



Far rougher and more exiting than my time as "hostess (Julie McCoy role) " on  the Prince George on the Alaska run later in life .. also a smaller cruising boat



The original ride from Australia was good ... took forever but as a kid I loved it

6 weeks that destroyed forever any desire I would have to go on a cruise ship.



Thank you, noooo.

How long does it take to take a ferry from Victoria to Tasmania?



Does it hold automobiles too?

[Frood]

About 9.5 hours, Fash.



1400 passengers

750 berths

1000 cars

[Bricktop]

Or 30 minutes by plane. 230 passengers. 230 seats. No cars. Avis and Hertz operate from Hobart and Launceston.



Only poor people use the ferry.

[Frood]

Pfffftttt



A holiday is as much about the journey as it is about the destinations and you can't bring camping gear easily on a plane unless you're backpacking and don't have children with you.



We're in Launceston at the moment getting provisions. Very hilly.

Nice casino, though.



Camping is for poor people.

[Frood]

Camping is for nature people.

[Bricktop]

Really?



I look forward to you posting some nature pictures then. Like mine.



I can appreciate nature just as well without freezing my ass off, getting soaked and sleeping on the ground or on an air mattress.

[Frood]

You must not camp very often.

[Bricktop]

I do not camp at all.



It is highly unlikely that you will if and when you reach 67.



Our camping days are well and truly behind us.

We have a heated, air conditioned rv..



It's not exactly roughing it.
