A time to rest and fellowship.

On Friday David and I were taken out to dinner by our friends at the Salavtion army. Carole picked us up with her car as the downpour threatened to drown us. It just didn't stop raining all day and all night. It was a great evening to relax and unwind.

Saturday we had planned to do some sightseeing around Canberra, but unfortunately David was very tired and needed to catch up with some rest. By the time I had organised some places to see and was ready to go, it wasn't hard to figure out where David had dissappeared to, the snoring led me to his room. Needless to say, sightseeing had to wait.

The weather was very unpredictable. The rain had stopped but the wind was blowing a gale.

After a good sleep we went to the local market, did some shopping and went back to our residence to cook a meal full of carbs! It was a great day.

On Sunday 12th Dec, Carole again picked me up to go to fellowship at the Salvation Army in Braddon, while David cycled in. We were welcomed with open arms. David again had the opportunity talk with everyone about his passion and his cause to the many brothers and sisters that fellowshipped there, while having coffee.

After fellowship David cycled while I walked to the War Memorial. It was a place of history and sadness combined. We spent the whole day there, until closing time. What an experience, you certainly come out of there appreciating what we have in Australia, what it took to get it and the many that sacrificed their lives so that we have what we have today. Let us never forget.

By closing time it was time to walk home, have a meal and get ready for sleep.

Most of Monday David started organising interviews and appointments for the journey ahead. While I went off on my own exploring, I left David to do his work. I was going to leave tomorrow so I had to get packed as well. David was going to have to stay an extra day or two for some appointments he was committed to.

Tuesday was a day of farewell to Canberra and David for me.
