Back to the Bay

We got up first thing to accompany Ross into his place of work. He's a volunteer guide for the old Parliament House in Canberra. Having worked in the city as a public servant and having a passion for politics anyway, he had a huge amount of knowledge to impart. I found the whole thing fascinating, despite not knowing a great deal about Australian politics myself. I particularly liked seeing the Senate (the British equivalent being the House of Lords) and the House of Representatives (the British Equivalent being the House of Commons)

We said our goodbyes to Ross and Sandra and we left again for Fennell Bay (complete with one of Ross's delicious wines!). As with the journey down to Canberra we broke up the journey back with a stop at Berrima. This time we stopped in at the Surveyor General Inn where we had some lunch and a drink and I had my first taste of flat fish (yum!!).

Getting back to Fennell Bay in the evening we decided we needed a swim to cool down. Unfortunately, it'd been very windy while we were away and there were more leaves than ever in the pool. After spending and hour or so clearing it, the pool was finally ready. I swam for a few minutes but Holly decided to give it a miss due to the water being too cold. I'm sure we'll make the most of it in the next few days anyway.

We had quiche for dinner and went to bed at a reasonable time - none of us had slept much in the last few days.
