Took a drive over to Port Arthur. Home of the big old convict prison for those who re-offended having already been sent over to Australia.

Most of it is still there, all spread out around the waterfront though it's hard to get a sense of what it must have been like when convicts were there. Everything now is neat, tidy, well kept. A lot of the buildings still remain though some have decayed and some were partially destroyed when Australia got a conscience and hated the place for a while.

Thoroughly enjoyed the place though. Had a boat trip around the island where a lot of the dead are buried. It'd be interesting to be here at night.

Got some money today. Have to get a haircut and Claire's chocolate.
