Hi all
Us again!
We visited the most amazing museum yesterday in Hobart.
It is called MONA (Museum of Old and New Art) and only been open about six weeks. It has been designed and the contents inside to confront people. It is brilliant - we didn't feel really confronted but fascinated by the way it has been developed. We will have to go back again so we can take more in. Sorry but not allowed to publish photos on the net but some others for you all to see.
Finally had my fish and chips last night after all this time!!!
Back to Salamanca Market tomorrow morning for another wander.
Be in touch soon.
Love Barry & Nicky

Everybody's Talking
Hi Nicky and Barry Your blog is fantastic - love the photos. You've really got everybody talking! It looks super weather and you both look on top of the world - or is it the bottom of the world down under? Pity you didn't dress as pirates to go to Pirate's Bay. Lots of love and missing you both, Chris x
