While the idea behind the trip is to see the Floriade 2008, the largest flower show in the southern hemisphere, but come one....a bunch of guys going to see flowers. Most are in the trip just to get away from Sydney for a day. The girls in the trip were excited and so they should. There were flowers everywhere.

For me it's just about nostalgia. Going back to a city I called home 15 years ago
Arriving in Canberra just in time for Friday prayers for our Moslem friends.

Followed by lunch in Civic. The Civic has changed a lot since the last time I was there...We had locals guiding us...Firman and Zadat????
We went to the Parliament House for photo op. Some friends did the "Jetstar" style photo with yours trully as the photographer. I was using my friend's Nikon D80. Damn...I have to get one of those DSLRs....

After that we went to Mt. Ainslie for a quick look at Canberra from the Lookout. Nice but I was getting windy and cold....so back down to the War Memorial...

Our day in Canberra ended with dinner at a small Turkish restaurant in Yarralumla. After that we went back to Sydney.
At the end of the day, the cost for car rent and fuel is $31/person. Cheaper than by bus...GREAT DEAL!!!
