We went into town to have breakfast as we had seen a pancake parlour and it had to be visited...! Chris had a canadian pancake, apples and cream, and i had a traditional 3 tier with maple syrup and ice-cream - YUM!
We walked to Lake Burley Griffin and round to the National Museum of Australia. It opened in 2001 and became an architectural landmark. It's unique deseign was inspired by a jigsaw puzzle.
We did the Circa cinema, 1st floor, top floor, ground floor then the garden of Australian Dreams. Whislt we were outside the fire alarms went off - a bit of excitement ! But all ok! before we left we went to K-Space a really cool place! You get your photo taken and then you get to make your own futuristique house, vehicule or spaceship on a computer. They are then all shown on a 3D Virtual Complexe cinema!
When we got back to the Hostel we saw on the news about the snow in London and then followed with the major fires in Victoria and the floods in Queenstown - Crazy !
