Day 23: Canberra
Oh, to not have to check out of a hotel – what a wondrous feeling!
Today, we had no plans, and were very thrilled about this prospect. We had a nice leisurely morning catching up with the fam and hanging out with the kids – and eating some of our favourite and much-missed home-cooked food. This is a hands-down winner over eating out three meals a day!
In the afternoon, we went to a mall (wow, haven’t seen (or missed) one of those in a while) to get a hard drive because our pictures have already filled up the laptop hard drive! Then, we visited a few (very few, on our request) sites around Canberra, such as the war memorial and the parliament. Canberra is actually only 100 years old, and was was created as a compromise when Sydney and Melbourne both wanted to be the capital!
We then headed back home to relax before going out for dinner. A nice easing out of the hectic schedule of the past few weeks! Off to sleep – what a tough day!
