So, I decided it was about time I go visit Australia's capital -- Canberra.  Everyone's always told me I needn't bother going and, really, it's only because I've been here for six years that I thought I ought to go while I still was near at hand.  It was -- much as expected.  The highlight was probably that Kiril let me drive his car into it (!!) ... and Parliament House wasn't bad either.  We just took a day trip, so we saw Parliament House (and took the tour), most of the embassies and the War Memorial.  Highlights below!
