Greetings from Canberra!

We arrived here yesterday... managed to catch a bus from the airport to the city. completely missed our stop, but since we were the last ppl to get off the bus driver was so kind to turn around and drop us near where we were staying :)

then we had dinner at HogsBreath after walking a bit around what looked like The City of The Dead.
Dark and Quiet it was...


Today we got up pretty late >< then we walked to Canberra Center.
Which turned out to be a pretty MASSIVE SHOPPING CENTER!! WOOO HOO!! love it.
it was raining the ENTIRE day so we stayed indoors in the massive shopping center :)
when it finally stopped for a bit we tried walking to the anzac parade and the war memorial center. Got there just in time for the closing ceremony (some guy playing the bagpipe and they closed the doors....) and it was once again raining heavily. cold, windy and wet.
caught a bus from there back to the city (it was only about 3mins ride...) . had dinner and wandered aimlessly around the city looking for somewhere to stay for tomorrow night to no prevail....
came back to our motel, tried asking if they had a free room for tomorrow but no... ALL FULL not even the dorm rooms. NNOoooooooo!!! *PANIC*
so anyway, i asked him if ther ewas other places he could suggest and he gave us this list of places and told us where he thinks we could stay so i just called up whoever he told to call and *yay* found a place. (its the first time i called in to book a hotel!!) so tomorrow at about 8am we're moving OUT from here and IN to the new hotel for a night... then taking a bus down to the parliament center area and get stuff done and look at more boring stuff....

i think ive bored you enough now. i shall write more when i can because i should be packing up my stuff to leave early tomorrow cuz i CANNOT be late tomorrow if not the whole purpose of me coming here will be defeated. I NEED TO RENEW MY PASSPORT. so i cannot be late.
ok. see ya.
