Gismo Queen and her King

Canberra - Sunday 7 July 2019

It was a cold night, so we left the diesel heater running all night on a lower temperature. It's much quieter that the reverse cycle air conditioning (which we can run while we are on power) but we still didn't sleep very well so didn't surface until 8:30am, even though it was a lovely sunny day.


We farewelled Neill and Jude for their day at the War Memorial and had scrambled eggs for our breakfast. We then headed back to Doug and Ruth's for my promised nail painting session with my youngest niece. Some more lovely family time before we left them to a visit with friends and to pack for their trip to Melbourne - we should see them at the other brother's house this week.


Our late afternoon was occupied with housekeeping tasks around the caravan. That kept us busy until Neill and Jude got back and then we decided to go out for dinner. Once again, TripAdvisor was consulted and our fascination with dumplings directed us to a local dumpling house. It was incredibly busy which we took as a good sign. And it was - we had a very staggered meal with dumplings, steamed vegies, squid, duck, more dumplings and the traditional banana fritter. It was excellent and we enjoyed every minute of it - even though we outlasted most of our neighbour tables!


A quick stop at the supermarket then home for hopefully a good night's sleep before we hit the road again tomorrow.
