FRIDAY 14 APRIL     DEVONPORT

After breakfast, did some final oddments of shopping. Bought John a polo shirt. Stocked up on some biscuits and crisps to take on the ship, in case we didn’t like the dinner. Bought a bottle of rum and some coke, that would be our nightcaps on the ship.

Tried to catch up with aunt and uncle a final time, but they were not home.

Back at camp, John painted the new welded section and we did some packing up.

In the afternoon, we again walked around to the ferry terminal, for some exercise, and watched a SeaRoad cargo boat loading and departing.

Tea was bought fish and chips.

Our last night in Tasmania. It had been a wonderful time. We hadn’t done everything we’d hoped, especially on the east coast, but made substantial inroads into same, so we were happy.
