We're getting very lazy! The hostel provide free breakfast until 9.30, but we seem to struggle getting up so after breakfast we go back to bed for a bit! This means that we don't get going till nearly lunchtime some days! Oops! Anyhoo, we set off from the hostel and walked along the river towards the city. We followed it for quite a way, passing many impressive buildings and black swans! We found the botanical gardens and walked around them. We had a lovely walk as the gardens are well looked after and there are many routes that you can take through them. We stopped at a lake where there were many turtle swimming, not as big as the one we swam with in the reef, but equally as cute?!
We stopped at the cafe for coffee, which was rather yum! We ended up sitting there for ages, planning our future! We then moved a few steps into the gardens and sat on the grass munching and sun 'baking'. We continued our walk through the gardens, stopping to see the shrine of remembrance before walking back towards the city. We spent the rest of the day mooching around the shops, eating ice cream and watching a helicopter land quite close to us!
