A quiet day of sightseeing today.  We decided to head south along the Huon River.  It is a lovely pretty river with rolling hills and large orchards.

We arrived at Franklin at around lunchtime, and the Lady Franklin Hotel looked good for a meal.  We have eaten here before and we remembered it was a nice meal with great views overlooking the Huon River.

After lunch, we took a left turn toward Glen Huon to visit Nick Haddow’s dairy farm shop.  We thought it may have been closed and it was.  It is not open again until the 4th of January.

Back onto the Huon Hwy, we took a right hand turn toward Kingston Beach to take the scenic Channel Hwy route back to Hobart along the coast.  This road takes in the suburbs of Taroona and  Sandy Bay before heading back through Hobart city, across the Tasman Bridge and home.

At Taroona, I realised we were looking across the Derwent to “our” hill. So, of course, I had to take a photo 🙂

Once back at the hotel, I sent off a couple of messages to the land owner and our builder to arrange a meet up with each of them.  We are meeting with the builder on Tuesday.

A quick dinner of BBQ Chicken and vegetables, a quiet night of TV finished off the day nicely.
