Travels Down Under:
Flea Markets and Botanical Gardens<\/FONT><\/B><\/p>\n

Sunday, April 24, 2011<\/I><\/B>

\n* Canberra<\/A> to Australia Capital Territory<\/A>, Australia<\/A> *
<\/B><\/p>\n

Sir Thomas awoke early and headed down for a bite at the Bytes Cafe<\/A> having a deliciously sweet blackberry and banana pancakes in the Canberra YHA<\/A>. A brief Skype with his friend Lady Victoria back in the Etats-Unis, shortly thereafter Sir Bluey<\/A> was waving and honking down below with a chariot awaiting Sir Thomas. Sir Thomas and Sir Bluey then headed over to the Phoenix<\/A> Flea Market in downtown Canberra<\/A>. Unfortunately, there were no other vendors for the market and hunches were being thrown around it was because of the bus strike and\/or Easter Sunday. Nevertheless, Sir Bluey and Sir Thomas Leaf set up a face-painting table and waited for patrons. The bartender and Sir Bluey got painted up. Lady Mikki joined us soon after, they all grabbed some Indian cuisine to go, and hung out in the Phoenix hoping some others would arrive. Very few. Lady Mikki bestowed the knights with chocolate bunnies that they were very thankful for. After Lady Mikki left, Sir Bluey drove Sir Thomas Leaf to the Australian National Botanical Gardens<\/A>. Sir Thomas of course was in bliss as he is an avid botanist and photographed every plant he could. Brief encounters with kangaroos<\/A> and numerous species of various Eucalyptus<\/A> he made quite a few additions to his compendium he’s creating. That evening, Sir Bluey made the duo some leftover kangaroo as a culinary feast. A good night’s rest was had by all. <\/p>\n
