Bognor bird in Brisbane...Â
So another day in Ozzie and I haven't written a journal entry for a while! Something always drives me to write these entries as you see and experience so much while you are travelling and I think it's important to write it down so your memories and experiences stay clear when you return! So here I go again...
Hee hee had the biggest laugh getting to Sydney airport! Clarus drove me there in her friends 4- wheel drive. She hadn't really driven a manuel car before as in Kiwi -land they all drive automatic cars! We had lots of fun with her gear changes and crunches on the way to the airport! She even gave English boy racers a run for their money on wheel spins!!!!! From Sydney airport I took a Virgin blue cheapie flight to Brisbane. The flight took just over 1 hour and on the way you could see spectacular views of the Gold Coast. Beautiful blue waters and perfect white sand!
So I 'm now in my 3rd state since arriving to Australia. Victoria and New South Wales were great but have a feeling Queensland is going to be my favourite and what better place to start than Brisbane! Having a fab time since arriving! It's probably my favourite city in Australia as it's so relaxed and has a great atmosphere! Staying in an excellent hostel which my Bro also stayed in when he was here! Hostel has loads going on and been playing regular games of poker and also took part in a speed dating night- great fun-wink wink!!
Met some great people which is one of the reasons why I have been here almost a week now! Lots of English, Ozzie, Japanese and Europeans to mix with. Have checked out the city and found a cool place along the river called South Bank. Here there is an artificial beach where you can swim and relax-a nice place to go and escape from busy city life. The plan is to stay here until Monday and then head across Morton Bay via ferry to Stradbroke Island. Here there is meant to be some great diving and is also the chance to do some sand surfing on the huge sand dunes! Will let you know how it goes.....
Off to cook dinner in our hostel kitchen before taking seat at the bar! Friday night is here!!!
Love and hugs to all! xxxxxxx
Keep those messages coming always make me smile! xxx
