So, where were we? ahh day 2.

Day 2, the whole refreshed bunch of us eagerly went to port arthur, used to be a convict (banduan) site. It was a huge area, a peaceful spread of greens with some highlights of those yellowish, brownish and reddish colored trees (it's autumn remember) ,that makes the site even more enchanting and of course the core products of port arthur, remnants of the buildings. The sun shines brightly that day and the weather was promising with occasional cool autumn breeze softly blowing that makes the day perfect for sightseeing. We then followed the tour guide talk, but only half way through as he talked too much of side information. Well...to those who are interested with no time constrain, it should be good and informative to listen to him.

We however only listened halfway, a couple of us then moved away from the group and began our own sightseeing and picca-taking of course!. I like that place..oh well..dunno why ex convict area has always interests me..what is that supposed to mean? hahaha ex convict AREA, not ex convict btw heheheh. Neway, there were remnant buildings of hospital, barracks, commandant house and of course the prison and yeap some others that i missed visiting as the area was so huge, we couldnt possibly cover everything in a mere half day. Convicts were sent to port arthur in 1800++ and though the place no longer operates as it used to be, it has been re-developed for tourists and locals to have an insight of what it was like back then. Some of the buildings were in fact still under construction in an effort to keep the history intact. The police station and commandant's house for instance maintained as they were, while some artifacts found on the site were also displayed.

We visited the prison, looked at the very small cells. There were performance that supposed to mimic prisoners and their activities but yeah missed that too. Lastly we went to the punishment room (bilik hukuman mati). It was a very small cubicle as well and dark, totally dark. We cant see anything as it's blackened by no single space for light to come in. But amran brought his torchlight and being a curious person, he on it and yeah..nothing. I didnt take picca of that room as i'm afraid 'something' would appear in that picca later hahaha :P yer lahhh bilik hukuman mati kannn...in fact, i didnt even step into the room, i dare not! amran did of course! Neway, then we were brought on a cruise to take a view around that historical site....it was nice, no payment needed for the cruise as it has already been included in the entrance fee.

Done with that, we then drove off to freycinet national park..to walk up to view the wineglass bay. To me, this climb up was harder than yesterday's (tahune airwalk) coz the steps were steeper..mek lelah ok haha :P. To compensate that, the view from top was much more superb than the one in tahune. Spent only sometime there coz there were many more incoming visitors and soon that space became too crowded as everybody wants to take picca and view of the wineglass bay. Myself, I spent quite sometime quietly savouring the ocean view from top. It's not ordinary for me to do such activity plus the climb up was a level 3 and that's extreme already for me! heheehe therefore i want to make it worth it. So i stand on the bench alone and quietly watch the blue turquoise ocean from afar and yeap at the same time acknowledging God's great creation....

Once done, we went down and then straight to bicheno to retire for the night.

Okay, piccas will come up soon..should be today..or perhaps tomorrow see how.
