Hotel Realm Canberra

... out and about 40 up hills. This was going to be a long drive to say the least. Vaughn is a straight forward kinda guy, Indian and Aussie in ethnicity and only took a few hours in the truck to start understanding my humor. It was more scenic than i had imagined, passing through forests and over many rivers and creeks, we slowly crept to Canberra, the nations capital. <br><br>We finally arrived at 10 am to begin setting up and stocking for the next 3 days. It was a bit cold ...

... still be there until next time. We will just give her grief for now. We than went out to Scenic World.. we spent around 2 hours & had a ball. It was one of our favourite places so far, it was also much warmer there than at Echo Point. We than continued on to Bathurst, Renee & Belinda did the laps around Mt Panorama. Renee did do it backwards :) we thought was highly amusing. We went in to the mesuem & had a good look around. We were bummed that the car ...

... luxury! We decided to have a power nap after being up since 3am for the market, only we didn't wake up and slept all the way through, doh!<br><br>Woke up early (well we had been asleep about 12 hours!) and went to see the Vanity Fair exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery which we meant to see in London but was 20 quid but over here was only 10, bargain at half the price! For what Canberra does lack in soul they do like their arts &amp; literature and have an ...

... keeping warm, reading the paper and having a coffee. Then off to Aunty Dis for dinner (who, when i told her where we were staying, casually said "oh yeah, a coupla people have been murdered around there! - thanks - although I have to say that she did tell us to stay elsewhere - but its all part of the fun) Thanks for today go to mum who provided us ...

... really happened here, although I did watch the Nadal/Verdasco semi-final of the Aussie Open which was a really good tennis match. Not as good as the final was yesterday, but good. And the people I was watching with were pretty equally divided between who they wanted to win, so it was a fun atmosphere.

... being "for the third time we did not use the mini-bar", so we'll see does that work... 16th got money back but no reply to letter of complaint, again I say '5 STAR MY ****'! I put review on tripadvisor and yet another nut emails telling me the 'rat bag' (I quote) unions make the hotels pay extra on public hols, eeehhh the hotels also charge the patrons extra on those days too, dick wad. Could it actually be, and I know this is radical, the staff are just **** and the ...

... som er et stort overdækket søndagsmarked. Her kan man baade købe kunsthaandverk, loppeting, antikviteter, delikatesser og andre fødevarer. Janne købte et meget flot specialdesignet tørklæde for 80 Dollars Paa vejen tilbage kørte vi lige et smut op forbi Shackleton. Da vi kom tilbage var der dækket op til Lunch/Dinner, hvor Philip tilberedte en meget flot laks, som blev skaaret ud ved bordet. Atter en hyggelig dag i familiens skød. Mandag den 7. juli startede vi ...

... anywhere and I was too tired to look for the Ned Kelly Series. Not to worry, I spent my time wandering round the other sections of Australian Modern, Edwardian, impressionism, Colonial, Pop Art, Aboriginal Island Art, Indian Art, Asian Art sections. I must admit there was a lot of 'not to my taste' but I did appreciate some of the cubism pieces and couple of Kandinsky, although I was a little disappointed that they were only small ...

... i don't know, what is everyone else doing?!! i feel like i'm completely not myself, and a complete social retard when we are meeting new people and can't hold a conversation very well! it's like i skipped a very important step after NZ of keeping up on my self-reflection and journaling, and find myself completely insecure - my head is full of things like, these people have such interesting stories, and i have nothing interesting to share. and i feel like i'm so ...

... and buy ponchos which were bright yellow so we looked like little- or large canairys shuffling around the town. This ended being a good laugh despite me and jess not feelin to lively. We went to the three sisters and climbed onto the rocks but couldnt really see anythin because of the mist. We got back the bus - the driver kept talkin even though we couldnt hear a word he said and went on the steepest train in the world through a rainforest. By this time we were soaked so ...
