Rained during the night. Overcast day but not raining so we set off for Remarkable Cave. We were discussing the cruise we were thinking of doing tomorrow so missed the turnoff. Drove about 10 km before we realised and turned around. Managed to get to the start of the walk to the cave, got out of the car and looked out over the water to see an extremely dark cloud coming towards us, so decided to head back to the van and return to the cave tomorrow. Drizzled on the way back and just as got in the van down it came. It poured. Glad we hadn't started the walk as we would have been drowned rats. Lazed around for the afternoon watching the rain. It was either pouring or the sun was out. Come 5:30 it was dark and windy but at least the rain had stopped. Perfect night for rugging up in the van. No not us we are off to Port Arthur Historic Site for a ghost tour. There was about 20 of us in the 6 pm tour and there were about 12 waiting for the 8 pm tour when we finished. There was little or no light apart from the guide's torch and 4 lanterns. I think they needed more light between the buildings as the path is a bit rough in places. The guide actually tells you at one place that a lady fell and broke her leg, not something I would boast about. We go to the church, the reverend's house, junior doctor's house and the single prison. In each place the guide tells stories about any murders that had happened there and then stories of sightings or strange things happening to people visiting. i.e. faces at windows, footsteps, voices in empty buildings, lights in houses without electricity. It was a bit eerie in places especially with flickering lantern light and the wind rustling trees etc. You will be pleased to know we both made it back to the van safely with no ghosts following us.
