For the Easter school break we went to Tasmania. We flew into the capital city of Hobart. After checking in to our hotel we went for a walk and one of Greenpeace's ships was in the harbour. They let us come on board and gave us a little tour of the boat. They had just been in a confrontation with some Japaneese whaling ships (they showed us a video of the event, where they rammed the Japaneese harpooning boats several times) and their anchor came loose in the middle of it and was swinging around and punched a hole in their hull. So they were in Hobart for repairs. You can see the hole in one of the pictures. We then moved on and continued exploring the town.
