After picking up the luggage, we tried to find "Budget" (the car rental company that we booked our car). When we show them the reservation number, I asked the receptionist what car do we have. I was told Nissan Tilda which is a small car. Lucky I told her about the upgrade that we suppose to have because she said it wasn't written in the computer. she then upgrade the car to internediate size. However, it is still Nissan but I forgot which model it was. She then told us to have a sit while she do the upgrade. It tooks about 10-15 min.

... ... ... Cool!!! Car's ready at last. We all jump in the car and have Nicole's GPS set and ready to go. I was doing the driving and Nicole was the navigator. Lol... ^.^ So, we head to the cottage that we already booked. Below are some photos of the cottage that we are staying for our whole trip at Tasmania. For more information, go to this link: http://www.stayz.com.au/30261.
This is a queen size bed downstairs. There is also a sofa bed that can folds out into another bed. And up in the loft where there are fabulous views is another queen bed and setting.
Here is the kitchen area and a stair up to the loft. And in this photo are Michael and Regan.
This is another side of of the queen size bed downstair.
This is me up at the loft. It's easy to climb up but scary to get down. Hahaha... =PAfter all the luggage were moved in the cottage and the photos session. We were ready to head off to Launceston. It tooks about 2.5 hours drive from Hobart.
Destination: Launceston.
Driver: Nicole.
Navigator: Michael.
On the long journey there, I had no idea what was aroud or what had happen as I was too tired and felt asleep. (Only found out that when we were back to Adelade that Nicole was actually keeping an eye on me and Regan to see if there's something happening. Lol... =D)
As soon as we arrived, we went upstairs to check out their casino. It was really small. I think it only has about 10 tables and only half of it were open that day. And the only games that they have are blackjacks, roulette and rapid roulette. Regan changed $50 and won about $80 at rapid roulette.
So, we went downstair and had our dinner at the cafeteria before heading back up to play again. I have a video clip which I wanted to upload that I took during the dinner. Unfortunately, after few tries still can't get it up load. Therefore, might have to skip the video part.
Nicole and Michael enjoyed their dinner.
On the way out. Though might just take some photos so that I can blog with.
This is a wishing well just near the entrance.
Launceston: Country Club Tasmania.
Another view of the Country Club.
This is the car that we rented.We started to drive back to Hobart around 10pm.
Destination: Hobart.
Driver: Regan.
Navigator: Yvonne (me).
Tried to take some photos as it was quite and bored. Nicole and Michael were asleep at the back. Unfortunately, Regan just realized. As usual, hands up and face covered. IIIssshh... @>@.
It was really foggy. Hard to see the way.
Here they are!!! Nicole just woke up and wanted a photo shot. Michael was just half awake.We arrived at Hobart around 12:30am. Everyone were really tired and exhausted. I took a shower and then we watched a movie before heading to bed. Have to get our battery fully charged to prepare for the next day.
While we head to bed, stay tune...
