Canberra – Day 1

It’s already 6PM and we’re now on our way to Canberra. We’re now on board Greyhound. Thr travel time is 3 and a half hours drive so got plenty of time to rest :) We arrived at Canberra few minutes before 10PM. And the wind in Canberra is much colder than in Sydney. JM is already there waiting for us :) We had dinner at a nearby restaurant. We ordered pasta which is too big for one serving. Good thing habiga and I just shared. There’s not much activity around unlike in Sydney. This is like the suburbs although Canberra is the capital city of Australia. Jolimont Centre is about 20 or 30 minutes away from JM’s place. He’s living in a place like the one you see in Desperate Housewives. Remember, the Wysteria Lane? It has so much similarities hehehe. His place is a neat duplex with a kitchen, a living room, a laundry room and a garage for his car. There were 2 rooms upstairs and a common toilet. It’s a really neat place which he said he was renting for A$360/week. Their rentals here are usually per week. There’s another Filipina occupying the other room but we didn’t get the chance to meet her. JM was soooo kind and hospitable to lend us his own bed and took out new bed sheets. Kahiya! Good thing he has a heater in his room ‘coz it’s really freezing out there. Hope we didn’t disturb them much as both me and habiga were really coughing in the night especially me. We had a good night sleep after booking our ticket going back to Sydney from Canberra.
