Check in was pretty minimal - they just handed over our room key. There isn't information about the facilities in the room - a QR code comes up on the TV, which links you to the information.

Everyone's read about Nassim Nicholas Taleb's book, Black swan, right?
Well only few have seen one!
Beautiful sunset on Canberra's lake. Nos that much visited by tourists, canberra is well worth it. it was a planned city, build from nothing at the beginning of the century. It is a cyclist paradise, with beautiful cycling lane away from traffic. Cycling round the lake can be a great weekend idea. Jogging or hiking round it can be a fantastic objective too. a bit of an oldy picture so sorry for the pixels!
