Today we headed off in the car for a road trip to Canberra. We stopped in Euroa for a bite to eat and then again in Yass to refuel.

We arrived in Canberra around 5:30 pm and checked into our hotel, the Ovolo Nishi.

After settling in, we went downstairs for a very nice dinner at Monster Kitchen, the hotel’s restaurant.

After dinner, we went for a short walk around the block in the rather crisp Canberra night air, before returning to our room for an early night.

Tomorrow we plan to just relax and wander around in Canberra.
