Uncle Billy Meets Tasmania

NEXT

Gardens between our wing and the rest of the hotel. They extend the length of the wing and very much reminded me of Uncle Billy's on The Big Island -- though Tasmania is bigger, but Hawaii is decidedly wetter. Still, the same sort of excessive chic oozes from both.
          Wrest Point is headed down the same path. The carpets are stained and some hardware is showing age. But it just doesn't yet have enough kitsch to be charming like Uncle Billy's. On the other hand, the staff is at least as good, if not better. They're all nice as could be and helpful to the point of conviction. Which is, after all, just kind of 'being Australian,' which Tasmanians seem to carry even further.
