Today we went on the Island Orientation tour. This was a half day tour that took us to some fantastic scenic points. With excellent commentary from our driver we were also able to learn much about the Island, the people, it's Government as well as see some of the ruins that were built by convict labour all those years ago.

You can't see everything in one day, but what this tour also did was to point out some of the other attractions that we can visit by ourselves. The tour left at 8.30 and had us back around midday, where we grabbed a bite to eat and then hit the shops for some gifts and food supplies. After that it was back to the cottage for some rest and pizza for tea.
