In the Capital finally... busses, trains and more busses

Well I finally made it to Canberra. So far so good, off to see the parliament today as well as the art gallery and whatever else is free and downtown (which seems to be a lot)

It was quite a trip, I took an overnight bus to Melbourne from Adelaide, then spent a few hours, and realized the two things I wanted to see were closed, the Art gallery because it was a monday, and the MCG because they are preparing for the Commonwealth games. (i should have seen that coming)

Then i hoped on a train, which then became a bus to Canberra. So i was essentially travelling for most of 24.5 hours (the half hour being the time difference)

Anyways i feel better today and i'll report on Canberra tomorrow
