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'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!
