Tasmania!

Just back from 4 amazing days in Tasmania with our dear friend Rory. Lots of laughs, great wine and copious amounts of food. So here are my recommendations for great spots to visits if you go to Tasmania.
Cataract Gorge - stunning. Wasn't a fan of the suspension bridge but the view is well worth it. Don't wear heels - very very steep walk back up from the picnic area and cafes.
Ana Purna Indian in Hobart - brilliant curries and the service was great.
Machine in Hobart - the best breakfasts - you must try the hotcakes which I would literally fly back to Hobart for!
The Red Velvet Lounge - brilliant light rye sourdough bread - heaps of butter and vegemite.Simple but amazing. And Rory had the brownie which was so good only social graces would stop you licking the plate!
And Raincheck in North Hobart had the best service with a smile and the best hot chocolate - melted chocolate in the glass with hot water and milk then mix it up yourself. So good!
But I didn't just eat over there - although my jeans don't agree! I was so impressed with the local designers and boutiques. Rebecca Roth (www.rebeccaroth.com.au) is a fantastic resin designer based in Hobart and I fell in love with her colours and styles. So much so I'm hoping to have her jems in store very soon!
I also visited a gorgeous boutique called Alexandra Best on Liverpool ( on facebook as alexandrabestonliverpool). Its a new boutique stocking beautiful shoes and clothing and accessories and it's well worth a visit.
So that's my Tasmania review - loved it! Hope you can handle more visitors again soon Rory- we are coming back as soon as we can! xx
