I was driving into Hobart last Sunday from the airport and saw a heap of VW's driving out of town....where did you go?

I was driving a hired white NB...AND I waved 😏

Do any of you live around Battery Point....there's a whole nest of VW's around there...:kiss

One of my friends has an olivey Bay camper... she lives in Hobart but I don't think she cruises much.
Have heard there's heaps of Dubs down there though!

Hey Laura!! 🙂

There are heaps of dubbs down there....looks like a lot were on the cruise...the first one I saw was a sweet blue notch ... lots of kombi's as well...and beetles....if I wasn't feeling so hung over from our wedding I would have done a u turn and joined them...I could have been the NB in the bunch .... Hmmm instead we headed to a cafe and let the morn drift by for a while :duh 😉

I was mine and Eddie's....I'll post pics when I get a few....I hope someone took digitas :duh

Last Saturday turned out nice thank goodness and we walked through the city from the registry office to the Boathouse near Princes Bridge where we had the reception...we had a troupe of loyal friends who walked along with us...it was cool both ways :P

Downloading some pics now of Tassie and the NB

I've not seen any wedding pics yet but here's the NB at Lake Pedder in Tassie .... on Bruny Island...and in Mount Field National Park

I must admit that the old style beetle I wanted to hire (Rent-a- Bug does exist now) would not have got us the distances we travels in the same time... I didn't need to change down gears for some of the mountains we climbed...I guess there are some advantages to a new car like heating when it's SO ICY brrrrr

Hey Jen CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!

Glad that you had a great wedding day and honeymoon. Isn't Tassie amazing? when Rod and I went over in March we had a ball. I was very surprised at the number of VW's that we saw, they were everywhere!

Hi sorry we missed you. We had a pizza cruise, took the scenic route to an Italian pizza joint out in the country, we did get a few along, about 18 i think. There was a fair collection, you should have joined us! Congrats on the wedding by the way.

Jo I waved to you... maybe you thought is was a figment of your imagination or thinking too much about what pizza to order😏

It was a manual NB...great to drive once I got used to the power steering and that I had 5th gear 😂

Hmmm the number of times I put the wipers on to turn a corner was embarrassing 🙄

A totally different experience to driving Bel my '58 beetle or Dr L my '70 sqback.....so not used to the windscreen being SO far forward either...and the front pillars seemed to block the view a bit??? It seemed a bit weird??

Looks like you meet up near Flippers...yummmmmm....we went there for lunch....I've always gotta go there at least once per trip to Hobart

We always start at Muirs- the big building near Flippers.
I agree on the pillar thing, that was how I found it too, a bit like tunnel vision. Get used to it I guess...
Sorry we snobbed you!
