Oaks Festival Towers Brisbane

... which actually made it very boring! There didn’t seem like there was a lot going on and there was pretty much no atmosphere luckily our stop here wasn’t long and I went with the jock to get some food which ended up being a Subway, which again shows how civilised this place was. Then just as the daylight was fading we got back on the train and continued on our final push to Sydney and the end of the line. I wasn’t looking forward to sleep again that night but at ...

I have been doing some last minute Japanese language practice and have realised we are pretty much doomed in that regard.

:) we embark at 8:45am tomorrow.

Japan here we come!

Well I've left it a bit late, we are leaving in 10 days and the only thing that I have organised is our return flight to Buenos Aires. We are leaving Brisbane on the 27th June and returning in January. We have a lot to do before then. Our main concerns are to rent the house, help Alex find somewhere else to live, and a home for Millie and Morris our two cats. At least our travel jabs are all but out of the way. I ...

... around the Castlemaine XXXX Brewery but we didn't go, we couldn't give a XXXX (remember the advert ?). We had dinner with my ex-colleague, Andy Payne & his lovely wife Michelle, in their nice apartment overlooking the river. They have decided to give Oz a try, obviously fed up with Britain & who can blame them. Andy works for an IT company; he is now officially, a "Super Geek". Gold Coast We hired a car ...

Stopped over at Brisbane airport for re-fuelling & transit. The airport was very nice. Chic, but in a relaxed kinda way. And there was a perfume clearance offer at the duty free shop!! Habis sembur & test, sampai aku sendiri naik peningbau wangi time boarding. Got myself a D&G Masculine for AUS47 dollars!

... the way home in July or something. I was working in the shop today and found out a job I had an interview for last week - one I thought would have the same outcome as all the others since they didnt seem impressed with my temp visa and had loads of people to interview- well they had phoned my manager for a reference yesterday. She gave me a glowing one of course and thinks im going to get the job. Its working casual hours in one of the big sports stadiums ...

... breakfast. The roads along the banks of the river are all on stilts above the water and are tangle up like bits of spaghetti which looks wierd, the skyline would be pretty cool otherwise. Its quite a small city and feels very friendly. We went to the museum which was cool, free, quite small and varied. Then we rushed back to the hostel, picked up the bags and headed to Brisbane Transit centre for a 17 hour overnight bus and train to Sydney...

... was busy trying to find a car for us in Auckland. We had decided to buy one instead of renting cause you can really save a lot of money. It was sad to leave Australia where I had had so many good experiences and met so many nice people, but on the other hand I was also ready to see something new, ready for New Zealand. The flight into Auckland is so extremely beautiful. Everyone we had met in Australia that had been to ...

Wife & daughter's first time thru customs, etc for international flight...all went smoothly & our touring party had plenty of time so any thought of having to rush was avoided.
Flight was fine, and we arrived in Changi airport safety & on time late at night....humidity was like a blanket as we boarded the bus bound for our 5 star hotel....23rd floor room provided wonderful views!
