9 Jan 2010 - Hobart

On the Way

We needed to drive a few hours to Hobart, especailly to catch up the Saturday market at Salamanca Square.  It was a sunny day with thin clouds.

Stop at Hamilton on the A10 highway

Salamanca Market

It was named after the victory in 1812 of the Duke of Wellington in the Battle of Salamanca in the Spanish province of Salamanca.

There are over 300 stalls and many locals and tourists are attracted.  Quite a lot of Chinese could be met here.  Some of them were Cantonese-speaking.

The same quote "it's too expensive as compared with the same stuff in HK".  At last, I bought a small fresh made blueburry cake and a half kilogram of cherries (at A$5).  Really cheap when compared with the same in HK.
