That will be my next mission!<br><br><br><br><br>

We've had such a busy 3 days! On Friday, although we had planned a quiet day to combat any jet lag, We actually set out at about 9 am with Hughie's sister Doreen, and walked and walked all round central Brisbane, taking in both sides of the river and part of the Botanic Gardens. Stopped there for what is turning out to be a daily cappuchino and on that occasion a lovely raisin toast. Returned ...

... hours sleep the night before. ...so we opted not to go. Got a grumpy phone call from the operator...rightly so as I had booked us but of course we didn&#8217;t turn up....but after saying sorry...we wont be able to make it...we will have to cancel...the woman still went on about why.....so I said personal ...

... These numbers are all in Australian dollars. If you want the American equivalent, it's about 80% of the Australian. So, $1.00 AUD is about $0.80 USD. Sorry, but I am too lazy to do the conversions! ;-) And the store I went into is one with the best prices, so anywhere that is more isolated (everywhere except capital cities) or touristy (everywhere) was more expensive by about 20-50% I would say. Also, some things, like produce, can ...

... beach down with stores, restaurants, and bars covering its streets. The surf break is amazing here because the angle at which the waves came in created a rip that kept surfers right at the next break line. So you didn't have to keep swimming back out into the surf you, instead, just walked back up the beach. At the South end of the Bay the peninsula reached out to the most easterly point of Australia. The peninsula also was home to one of the most beautiful lighthouses. We stayed ou

... very good. Al's highlight - the red bean brulee. Mine, the reef and beef on final night. Even the lobster (?) wasn't like rubber. The hotels we stayed in were all good. First in Shanghai due to location, second in Pattaya as it was a nice hotel, shame that Pattaya is a pimple that should be sqeezed, and finally Hotel Re in Singapore was great. Even the ...

... Twenty/20 game in Sydney (it had stopped raining!) before we had a takeaway and an early night. On Monday we are planning to walk along the riverside boardwalk into town through the botanical gardens and explore before take the ferry along the river back here. Our first impressions of Brisbane are very positive, helped no doubt by the weather, but, compared to Sydney it seems a manageable size although very different to Perth, the only other city that we know well. More tomorrow!

... our room was ready. Mike and Adrian went out and bought us McDonalds. Mmmmm! After settling into our apartment, we all had showers and headed out for a walk. Found Bur Juman mall and wandered around there for a while, then stopped at Spinneys supermarket to stock up on some groceries. Ate bread and hommous but we were all so tired we went straight to bed - probably about 6-7pm!

... most amusing piece of all though, in the original email I was sent they attached two photos supposedly documenting the damage to the hostel. The photos were of a golf course that looked like it had been by a very heavy shower of hale or sleet. And when we mentioned the storm to other hostels they were strangely forgetful about the serious and I quote "one in a decade storm". One in a decade storm? Well I think they were a shower of.......
