Waldorf Apartment Hotel Canberra

... Charlotte's Great Auntie Fay, she arrived a bit late due to getting a bit lost and stuck in traffic, when she found us we went for some lunch, after she had left us back in Canberra we went for another walk around and had to just waste time until our night bus at 11.55.<br><br><br><br><br> <br><br><br><br><br> <br><br><br><br><br> <br><br><br>

... br>We eased our way into the trip - five nights in Koh Phangan with 30,000 tourists will do that - but some of our most memorable moments definitely happened once we stepped off the road more travelled.<br>Thailand's north, and Cambodia full-stop was of course trampled by tourists, but I guess there was a sense that these people were still living the way they wanted to. I'll never forget the gruelling seven-hour trek through the Chiang Mai mountains. The view ...

... br>I tip toed around the airport for a little while, and was then greeted by Sonia and Chris, the 2 Australian girls that had come to Ottawa a few weeks ago! They were seriously a godsend! They drove me to the hotel, the Bentley Suites, where I dropped off my luggage and quickly changed before leaving again to head to downtown Canberra for some lunch. The town itself is very comparable to Ottawa.. except it has a smaller town feel to it! We had lunch and champagne at this caf ...

... from us so we could unpack it - where all the stuff was I don't know but we made 3 trips back home just to unload the car and van! Washed and polished it, had a new power point fitted and had visitors also. Annette and Charlotte came for a lovely visit in the morning, and Helen and Eddy Kuit and their grandson Isaac came to share a bottle of champers with us to christen the van. Isaac didn't have any, of course, we wouldn't ...

... that was an issue for 72 hours it's hardly a deal breaker, I am only saying cause I am blogging, it's not like I'd write it if I sent any post cards. This is what I would say Canberra is a lovely city, the Hyatt hotel is in fact in a good spot to walk to Lake Burley Griffin (man made and named after the American architect who planned the town), see the huge Capt. Cook Water Jet (Memorial fountain that propels 6tonnes of water up), walk to the Sculpture garden of the ...

... vi se os omkring efter et nyt sted. Nu er St.Kilda omraadet i Melbourne, hvor de unge og de trendy , kunstnere og studerende boltrer sig. Saa lige overfor RSL laa den lokale "Sommersko", hvor vi kunne faa burgere og salat, og det fik vi saa. Mia fik ogsaa en aftale med sin veninde Chiara, saa de skulle mødes næste dag. Torsdag den 3.juli Om formiddagen tog vi saa en taxa ud til Chiara. Gensynsglæden var stor og velkomsten hjertelig. Vi fik ogsaa lejlighed til at ...

... isn't somthing we had the money for and so we also learnt that day that our trip would unfortunately have to end 4 days earlier than expected! The only other thing we did in Canberra was go to the Parliament houses which looked pretty cool though because of a drought all the water features were unfortunately off! One of the best things in the Parliament house was the Original copy of the Magna Carter which we both thought was quite amazing to see! That ...

... zum Anfassen, ein Besuch lohnt nicht, falls man aelter als 11 Jahre sein sollte), den Telstra tower (hoechster Punkt Canberras auf dem Black mountain gelegen, bietet einen unglaublichen Ausblick bei Sonnenuntergang), den Lake Burleigh Griffin (grosser Stausee, zentral in Canberra gelegen), das Civic (Stadtzentrum) und Manuka (sprich: Monnicka, "mondaenes" Viertel, welches ...

... there as either a stopover on their long journey between Melbourne and Sydney, or as we were, to buy the postcard for the collection ha ha We didn't count on the suffocating 40c head when we did the customary tour of the town centre, and even though we were choking and walking at a snail's pace, the tour took 10 mins &amp; then we headed to the pub to drown our sorrows &amp; figure out how were going to amuse ourselves till 8pm ...

... classics as well- Sara and Paul will know what I mean - last tune was Body Rock, and he played screamer as well!! Anyway - it was wicked. Australia day tomorrow so theres loads of free stuff, bands and fireworks and shows etc in the city and the parks we'll probably head down there at some point. Thanks for all my birthday wishes, i had such a cool time, check the pics!!
