Yesterday we were ported in Bateman's Bay, the stop for Canberra.  If you want a simple bus ride to this nation's capital and back, where they just leave you to wander about the city on your own for three hours, the price of this tour is $159/person.  Of course, it is a combined 5-hour ride, as the roundtrip will be close to 200 miles. Today will be all about food.  I slept until late in the morning and avoided breakfast.  So lunch turned out to be a 2-hour extravaganza.  A buffet at Colonnade, you pick what you want.  Lamb, plus. See that bowl with the cover on the right?  That is my egg blossom soup.  I ordered a Macallan Malt Whisky to pour into the soup.  Then drank the remainder over rocks. We got to know Anatoly from Russia, who is swiftly becoming our personal sommelier.   After a splendid 2-hour lunch we strolled by the pool bar and, amazingly enough, Vinay remembered us, and gave us a whole bottle of Glenmorangie.  While there he poured six jiggers of Macallan over ice
