Nikki's World Travels
Hello! Ok well have just left brisbane and contrary to what everyone told me i really enjoyed the city. Ive heard alot of bad reports about brisbane saying it was justa city wioth nothing to do but i really liked it. So when i arrived i checked in and got to the room - it was very boarding school style of room as had a massive fireplace at the end but still it was cool. In the afternoon i wandered around the city and let a very hungover vicky sleep it off as she got in at 8am this morn! So had a lil look around. That night we were gonna (me, vicky and christie) eat our pasta but when we got to the bar and ordered the first lot of beer jugs we decided to eat there instead - yes i know we're lazy! So started on the beer then moved to the cocktails which was a bad mistake as they were just too sweet and were not gettin us drunk just full. We talked to some scottish guys that christie knew - one of which went to cardiff uni - small world. In the end we treid bout 4 out of the 6 jugs of cocktails so no wonder we were feeling a lil sick. I went up to get a jug and the stupid bar woman was like that's $15 but there was a sign up saying $10 but she said that was for last night not tonight. I said that there was no date on the poster so as the sign was still up she had to give it to me for $10 but she was adament that they were $15. However, we all knoww how stubborn i can be and i was like no they are $10 as thats false advertising - she asked her boss and got it for $10. Funnily enough instead of taking thes ign down they left it up so we opulled the same stunt every time we went up so saved ourselves $20 bucks in all!! After the down Under bar which was under our hostel we went to some irish bar after stopping off to say hi to Rob - the guy we met on the fraser island trip who lives in Bris. We got to the irish pub and were lagging - the drinks were a chore so after just one we left as still felt sick after the cocktails!! I think we were abck at the hostel by 10.30!!
Next day me and vicky went shopping - all i bought was a top as have to get some going out clothes for here and sydney as they dont let you into clubs with flip-flops and day clothes! That night me christie and one of christie's friends who had just arrived went to get some sushi, starbucks and went to the cinema to see "waiting" it was kinda funny but i wouldnt see it again!
So the next day me and vicky went shopping again!!! This time i bought some shoes to wear out and a couple of tops - all cheap mind. And i went for a nap in the afternoon - man how i miss siestas we had in spain. That night we cooked some dinner and started on the box of wine. The girls came to our dorm as there was only me and vicky in it so we got ready there and drank the wine - Fabien a guy we met a dinner joined us and we palyed some drinkin games before going to the bar downstairs. We had planned on going out to the Valley where all the bars and clubs are but people told us that it would be dead there on a tuesday and we had might as well stay imn the down under bar. So we drank even more then thats where it gets a lil phasey. But we stayed til the end then went to 7/11 bought some crackers, tried to watch some tv but nothing on so went to sleep about 4ish i guess.
Woke up with a mean hangover - had to check out by 10 and when i woke at 9 all my stuff was just sprawled out on the floor so attempted to pack - i took me about 40 mins just to do that!!
So brisbane was fun - mainly shopping, drinking and eating sushi - how cosoploitan of me!! Now im in surfers paradise - woo!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL
love me
