Hi lovely readers - here's our last Taz blog. So, there are two things that this blog is about: 1) Visit to the Tasman Peninsula (bottom right as you look at the map) to experience the Port Arthur historical penal site (convicts, not mens' bits). 2) Trip up the top of Mount Wellington on a sunny but windy day.

Hullo!! We did a big fat trip a wee while ago covering Bonnie Scotland (our home), France, Spain, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand and China. Then we came home and had a lovely baby girl called Beth and Alan went back to work. Beth is 14 months old now (I know - where does the time go??) and we haven't been anywhere exotic for yonks. Consequently we are now 'dormant bloggers' which makes us feel a bit dreary, so we better get our skates on and find some good places to visit and report on pronto!!.................... full info

No other ppl?
I missed this blog when it came out and just read it now. What I do notice with the pictures is the lack of other people. It often looks like you two are the only people on the planet. Is it really that quiet in most of places you are at? Cheers! RW

Dearth of peeps
Hi Steven - nice to hear from you - you must have been allowed a three minute break from doing flash reports to grab some time to write some comments, no? Re people - I know what you mean - sometimes we do it on purpose, waiting for folk to get out of the way before we snap. Lots of places we've visited have herds of tourists nashing around quickly so we try to avoid getting them in the frame. However, if we are on a street or market or cafe or something which has natural pedestrian population then that's a different story. Its more 'real'. Some places are however really quiet. Western Australia was especially so, and many of the beaches we visit are often practically empty. Bye for now, Shaz :-)
