weekends

Rainy start to the weekend in Sydney, was suppose to be rainy and stormy all weekend. To brighten the streets of inner west, the window washer at the intersection of Parramatta Rd and Johnston St Annandale decorated his 'office'. He has been doing it up of late, and getting dressed up himself.

Epic drive to Canberra on Friday, lots of traffic. Trip took a bit over 4 hours.

Sat morn we made Peach Upside Down cake. Mmmmm, check out the fantastic pattern of the peaches....

Cross-section to appreciate in all its glory - 06/03

Gallery was all booked out, went to Alice in Wonderland in 3D... Don't know how I felt about it. It was a film I was getting quite excited to see and now am feelin' a bit, meh. Doesn't feel like I watched it.

All Bar Nun for dinner and a few drinks, then onward for dancing and somewhere open.

Sunday. Bit of a late start meant that we got to line up for the Paris exhibition at National Gallery of Australia. Massive lines, think it would have been a wait regardless of our arrival time.

Got to make use of the Portrait Galleries bathroom, shiny orange sculpture out the front.

Orange, shiny and bumpy - 07/03

I had never seen a real life Impressionist painting so was quite the excited little rabbit. I got one of those audio tours, informative. It was really busy so am glad that the thought to pre-purchase was had.

Late Sunday and it was time to drive home. Decided, somewhat, to leave late and miss all the traffic. Alas, there was an accident around Goulburn. I don't like to just sit in the car, got a hot tip to got some back roads and hopefully avoid the traffic.

After about 15 mins, no sign postings, no phone reception and not a map in the car I began to get a little nervous. Whats the worse that could have happened really??? Arrived in Bungonia and found a map, we were on the right track.

Total travel time on way back, 4 hours. And an adventure was had.
