🇦🇺 Hobart Car-Free Adventure: Day 1 Diary 🚶‍♀️✨

No car? No problem! After debating between tours and DIY, my friend and I chose freedom for our Hobart trip! Here’s our chill-but-packed first day: ✈️ Morning: Touchdown in Tassie • 7:20 AM Virgin flight from Sydney → Hobart (brrrr! ❄️). Instantly colder than Sydney! • Transport hack: Skipped the SkyBus and took an Uber ($43 to CBD)—worth it with heavy luggage 😅. • Stay: Edinburgh Gallery Lodge 🏡 A cozy, vintage B&B run by a sweet grandpa. *10/10 charm!* 🌞 Daytime Explorations • Salamanca Market (10-min walk): Bigger than expected! Perfect for souvenirs and local vibes. 🛍️ • Lunch: Fishy Business 🐟🍟 — BEST fish & chips ever! The fish was stupidly fresh. • Tasmanian Museum & Art Gallery: Small but cool (pro tip: go early!). • Van Diemens Land Creamery 🍦: Legendary ice cream—worth the hype! 🌙 Evening Vibes • Dinner at Cyclo Vietnamese Restaurant: Pho was okay (not mind-blowing). • Hobart after dark: The city shuts down early (lol)—just pubs and restaurants left open! • Vibe check: Feels like mini-UK—frosty air, empty streets, and a hauntingly beautiful quiet. ⚠️ Pro Tips: • Pack WINTER gear ❄️• Book tours early! We missed Bruny Island/Tasman Peninsula tours due to last-minute plans. • Next up: Maria Island hike tomorrow! 🥾 #Tasmania #Hobart #Backpacking #StudentTravel #NoCarNoProblem
