We slept very well in our cosy beds! We had two lovely room mates from Norway! One of them kept us amused, she was doing exercises in the room and kept calling it sport which along with her mannerisms, we found rather amusing!! We both thought that Canberra 'city' (if you can really call it a city) was fairly compact and that we would be able to walk around with ease and in no time at all, how wrong were we?!! We walked to Parliament house which was on the other...

We were up bright and early, bags packed and ready to leave by 10am. We were both sad to be leaving Sydney as its such a lovely city and we still feel like there's more to see and do. I suppose this is our incentive to come back again though! I was sad to leave the hostel as we were quite settled and it was very homely! We loved the fact we had a tv in our room! Hehe!

2010!!! WOOOOP! We eventually made it out of bed at a reasonable hour and shared stories of last nights antics with our room mates. It seems a good time was had by all!

Our room mates couldn't believe we were going so early but we were ready so though we may as well. We left at about 11.15AM and arrived at the entrance to the B...

We had another lazy-ish day as we didn't get up until late. We went to STA travel agents to enquire about a tour thing for Fiji and popped to the post office to buy a box to send some things home! By the time we had popped back to the hostel to look at the tour properly and do a few other bits, most of the day had gone! We were going to my sister's friends for a bbq in the evening so we popped back to book our tour, bought the essentials (goodies and beer) and ca...
