After a night at an old country pub in the paddocks, we made our way to the east coast of Tasmania and the quaint little beach community of Bicheno. Actually it was more of a holiday getaway for people living in Tasmania’s largest city, Hobart. We spent a couple of days just relaxing, reading, and walking. Here is another photo of the rocky coast on the other side of the town:
“After a night at an old country pub in the paddocks, we made our way to the east coast of Tasmania and the quaint little beach community of Bicheno.” Sounds idyllic. Like out of a novel or something. Not to mention: “We spent a couple of days just relaxing, reading, and walking.” Awesome, awesome. Btw, how do you pronounce “Bicheno”? Or should I say, How do the locals pronounce it?
Yes, I’m still up. Going through all my cds (the ones I didn’t lose) and selecting songs that might be motivating when exercising . . . should I ever decide to exercise. Time for some shut-eye, though. 3:02 a.m. here. XOXOX
Well originally I had thought it was pronounced BISH-EE-NO. However, I said it like that to a local somewhere and they corrected me with BITCHIN-OH. So I’m not totally sure.
Sometimes Australians pronounce things strangely. Like they pronounce the word fillet [O Fish] like FILL-IT, which just sounds ridiculous to me and I refuse to say it that way at the cost of causing confusion every time I order a steak.
