Port Sorell - Tasmania.

We are heading to Karen & John's block in Port Sorell for the long weekend. They are Lotus family and SOOoooooooo much more! We had an amazing weekend, with no agenda, yet achieved so much & had so much fun! We spend the first afternoon, checking out the beach & taking a stroll around the area. There is also a great caravan park here for those that don't have Tasmania friends.

On Saturday we arrange to meet up with Robyn & Ed (Lotus friends) as well. Firstly Karen, John, Steve and I stop off at Ghost Rock winery and do a sample tasting.

John & Karen ready for wine tasting.

Next we head to The House of Anvers - a chocolate factory, where we were able to watch the chocolate & Easter eggs being made, of course we did a tasting, (well a bit more than tasting)!
We meant Robyn & Ed here and the six of us had a delicious lunch, before a bit more chocolate tasting.

La Villa Wines at Spreyton, where you can ring the bells!

Fruit tree's that come from John's & Karen's.

These were some big pairs!

Carrying on we went to Spreyton Cider, where Steve did a tasting for $12, and anyone else that wanted to try, had a sip. 

Gunn's Plains.

The next winery was Prickly Mo's, a very interesting, fashionable winery (An old shed). This was very busy and the atmosphere was great, for more wine sampling.

Following on from this the six of us drove out to Gunn's Plain's.  This was a spectacular vista from the lookout. (Pictures above.)
It was sad that we left Robyn & Ed at Ulverston, where  they had to catch the Spirit of Tasmania the next morning. We also checked out a VW convention.

Port Sorell to Penguin Island.

Serene day for a sail.

Walking out to Penguin Island at low tide.

Extremely calm.

Rocks, water, sand, bush & Hill's.

All the crabs running off, as we scared them.

How cute.

It was sad our weekend had to end, as Karen & John were amazing host's, we also played darts, disc bowls, had a fish & chip super, went to the Shearwater pub/resort for desert & live music. Had a log fire in the Chardy shack at night!!! However we still have a few places we would like to see in Tasmania before we leave.
