{Day 3-Marakoopa Caves}

The third day of our Tasmania trip was a rainy one.  It was also a travel day, we packed up camp and headed to Bay of Fires on the east coast of the Island. Along the way we stopped at Marakoopa caves which ended up being on of the highlights of the trip for me.

 We saw all these beautiful fields of flowers throughout our travels...

 It didn't take long before we realized they were poppy plants.
Tasmania is the world's largest producer of opium for the pharmaceutical market.

 I've been in caves before but nothing like this.
 There are rivers and glow worms galore down there- truly an amazing sight.
 No picture could ever come close to depicting its beauty.

 "The most precious jewels you'll ever have around your neck are the arms of your children."

 We took another pit stop in a quaint town where bought some honey, fudge and ice cream.

Just before we made it to our campsite the rain came pouring down. Kudos to Ryan who did a great job setting up tarps and the tent which kept us nice and dry.


This is where we camped...

It was amazing and we practically had it to ourselves.
 The 5 nights we spent there we never saw another soul.
Paradise all to ourselves- what more could we ask for?
