We are in Canberra!
First order of business was lunch at Brodburger. Pretty delicious, though not the BEST burger I've had.
We went to check in at the Hyatt and they weren't able to give us the room we asked for, and also they weren't ready for early check-in like they said it should have been so we went to the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery. They were both pretty dinky, and fully half the National Gallery was closed. I took a handful of photos which I've uploaded to Flickr (https://www.flickr.com/photos/virtualwolf/albums/72177720309063596), and I loved this little whale sculpture by Horace Wikmunea. The Portrait Gallery was actually significantly more interesting, though still far smaller that I was expecting.
Then we got back to the Hyatt and waited for ages for someone to actually come to reception to check us in, got our room key and went to the room, and realised it was directly overlooking the breakfast area despite us having specifically requested a quiet room. 🤦🏻♀️ Went back to reception and got moved to ANOTHER room, this one actually quiet, and now we're killing time until we head out for dinner with @[email protected].
