Tasmania Cruise - Sun Princess - Day 3 Tuesday 18 December - Hobart

Back in beautiful Hobart again.  Because we're only going as far as Port Arthur tomorrow, there's no rush to leave Hobart tonight - we docked at around 8am and passengers don't have to be back on board until 1:30am tomorrow.
We waited for the rush to die down, then had a leisurely breakfast and wandered off the ship.  No surprise to see that regardless of the constant warnings that you aren't permitted to take food off the ship that people were being stopped because of trying to take food off the ship!
We were surprised to see in the distance what looked like an oil rig in the Derwent River.  Turns out - it is an oil rig; it's in Hobart for three months for maintenance and repairs.
Anyway, we walked up into Hobart and had a look around some shops before stopping at the Rhyme Street Cafe for lunch - had a very nice burger and chips and some absolutely delicious cold pressed orange juice.
We then went back to the ship but went out again later for dinner - this time we picked up some fresh cherries for dessert and some take-away from one of the many fish and chip shops on the dock.  Yum!
