Launceston 2023, June 12

Got up early to run in the fog at 7am, had a bit of a sore left calf develop overnight but was able to run still.

Had a confirmation from the uber driver on Sunday night but they arrived nearly 30 minutes early for some reason and started getting notifications. It was a very quick 15 minute drive to the airport with no traffic, so I was a bit ahead of schedule, had to wait for about an hour. Some other flights were delayed already for the morning, but mine was still showing up as on time. Used up most of the waiting time writing up notes for this trip report.

No issues on the travel back either, so that was the end of the short Launceston trip.

Good

  • Easy to walk around the city
  • Running tracks along the river in many directions
  • Short flight from Melbourne
  • Small airport
  • Wasn't too cold for early winter - survived with shorts

Bad

  • Limited options to get to the airport - no bus
  • Not many tourist options around the city
  • Only one convenience store and two supermarkets at the other end of the city
  • Limited fast food options, most at the other end of the city
