Two ports in one day today.
Overnight we sailed to Port Arthur. This is a tender port, and one we have visited before. So, we decided to stay onboard and have a lazy quiet time.
Once everyone was back on board, we sailed for Hobart at about 5pm and docked there around 7pm.
After dinner we had a shore excursion - a ghost walk. Interesting tour; we walked around some of the older streets near Salamanca Place, and the guide told us stories about various historical houses, obviously concentrating on ghost stories. I thought that they were going to include some pretend ghosts - I was quite sure that there was someone in the top middle window of this old hotel moving the black fabric around - but no-one said anything so maybe it was a ghost after all ......
The tour didn't go as long as advertised, and a few times she talked about 'showing us photos later' which didn't actually happen. However, it was an interesting walk and talk.
