We had arranged to stay with Jenn's, Nan's cousin Mike in Brisbane. When we unloaded off the bus, and after a bit of miscommunication and sitting on pavements Mike came and picked us up.
We spent the week with Mike, visited his son and daughter and their families. We were very well fed and spoiled by everyone. Saw the sights of Brisbane, including my very first koala (even if it was asleep and had it's back turned to us). Caught up with our travelling friends and splashed out on a cinema ticket. My birthday came and went, we visited nearly every shopping centre in the area and bought some soon to be much needed warm clothes!
Was so nice to be staying in a house, with a washing machine, a sofa, a double bed (each!) and a tv! We made full use of all facilities and became full on telly addicts able to quote nearly every advert on Australian tv. Feel like normal people for the first time in a while.
Sad to say goodbye to our adopted family but it's the first time we've spent 7 days in one place since we started so my traveller feet are getting very itchy for a change of scenery.
