Day 58 - Canberra
We're back in the below zero nighttime temperatures...so needless to say there's no hurry to get up too early. We had a quiet morning in the van lingering over coffee and breakfast before we joined the family inside the house.Some pottering in the garden, playing with the kids, eating home grown mandarins - and all before lunch!
After lunch, I wanted to indulge in some retail therapy (given this is the first time we have been in a truly civilised city for a couple of months now) and my sister-in-law was keen to oblige. Turns out she did more shopping than I did but we had a pleasant afternoon at the shops, out for afternoon tea and buying some special presents. Greg hung out at home with his mother, brother and niece and nephew. Apparently there was some active playing undertaken.
Home for a beautiful roast dinner followed up dessert we bought at the delicious Italian cafe Ruth and I had afternoon tea in. The heartstrings were tugged at kids bedtime when Xavier queried "do you have to go home tomorrow?" - but that could also be because he wanted to sleep in the caravan one night!
A lovely time catching up with the family.
