Trip to Canberra

I went Canberra twice. First time i went was on mid September with my parents and youngest sis when they came to visit me last year. Another visit was last Saturday (29/7). Thanks to Katherine who organized the trip and Justin Wong who willing to drive. Oh ya i have to say this too, that day i woke up so early and that sets a bad tone for the day! Luckily i ate "Royal Jelly" and it kept me energetic for the whole day. haha~impossible?it works for me tho!!!how amazing~haha^^Btw it was a great trip and another yay is that i managed to have Roast Chicken with red rice for my lunch. It was really yummy!!!haha~~Ok here's the schedule and photos for the day.

6.00am-Departed to Canberra
around 8am- We are LOST!Luckily we found our way back after called someone for direction.
around 10am- Stopped for petrol and toilet(careless me left my spectacle in the toilet and i only realised my specs are not with me after 10 minutes drive away from that stopping point) then we reversed back to get it. Luckily nobody took it.

Paiseh we were lost halfway even though the route to Canberra is actually very straightforward. Bad navigator. Sorry ppl, I didn't plan it too detailed and well and made us spend too much time on the road. Anyways, even though the trip was abit rush, but it was still good as I finally visited the Floriade and the best thing was to be with good accompany, like you guys =)
