Just to follow-up on Ngaire's comments about Hobart: Next year the Mariner will be there on Saturday again. What's so neat about that is that the Salamanca Market, which is right by the pier, is only there on Saturdays. We were there last year and were told that about 40,000 people go through it on a typical Saturday. All sorts of things are available. We bought hand-knit sweaters, scarves, and hats, and beautiful wooden boxes and some other wooden items made of sassafras. We spent a whole morning at the market.
