We went mainly to see Floriade but it was the least favourite sadly. We loved the arboretum, the Parliament house tours, the tulip farm was amazing. Duntroon drive was unbelievable. The embassy’s gave us OMG moments. Topped off by a very emotional visit to the War Memorial. But Bob was the highlight. Such a lovely man.”
