The little trip across a big ocean
I am so excited to be leaving Canberra! the hostel has been horrid. They mess up reservations, you have to pay to lock your things up, and the schools use it for their trips to the capitol (very loud)! I had words with one teacher who thought it was ok to yell at your kids at 6:50 AM outside my door. She didn't appreciate it, but did't dare say a word to me. Today was a really long travel day- 3 hours by bus, 6 hours by train, 1 hour by another train, and then a 25 minute drive. The scenery was well worth it though and trains are so much fun to ride - extra room and a wonderful view. It was mostly long rolling hillls and farm land. The drought is really hurting things here though. It is a common source of discussion. I finally got to Burttie and Helen's late in the evening. We visited for a while and then got to bed. It was great to see them again!
