Wickham Terrace Motel Brisbane

... it was just awesome! Such an awesome time and so funny people!!! we ended up meeting lots of nice people there and I found me a hat! :D (someone very drunk had probably dropped it. and boy were they drunk there!
On sunday it was sleeping and eating that counted..
But today I will try to plan my near future a little ;) our trip to the outback, and in about 2 weeks our hostfamily will take us to a rainforrest, the one that's nearest to Brisbane. (sorry I ...

Took relatively short 1.5 hr flight to Brisbane for international connection on Emirates. Had 7 hours to kill, so good friends whisked us away for tea & conversation, which was really appreciated.
By the time we were dropped back at airport around midnight, it ...

... try and breathe only from my mouth but the air kept taking my breath away - i was conviced I was going to die mid air lol and my cheeks were flapping in the wind as unattractive as that sounds lol then before you know it they pull the parachute and you can just chill in the sky until you land - my ears were in popping pain so it wasn't a pleasent ride for me at all - but he let me steer the parachute which was amazing :) now I can say I've done it !!

after ...

... great Lukasz hunt ended unsuccessfully - but at least I had my photo.

Saw the team again this morning before we left for the airport (I was in a stinker of a mood cos I was hungover, tired and didn't want to leave) - I think some of them had had a heavy night! They head home on Tuesday. I thought I felt bad but when I saw Gary I felt a bit better - he had a killer hangover today - he even spewed his load on the plane. Thank god he made it to the ...

We spent 3 night in Brisbane as our last stop in Australia. The trip has gone too fast! Fiji here we come. The first night we partied in the hostel with a bunch of 20 year olds. They played guitar and sang until 3 am. Then, it turned to wrestling (we just listened to wrestling from our room). We toured the XXXX brewery. The brewery had automated robots telling the story of the brewery. They were really ...

... auch nur Tropfen Wasser an uns vorbei. Zahlen war die Devise und das sah ich einfach nicht ein. Vor allem da ich vor dem Ausreisen eine 25 Dollar Depature Fee (Ausreisegebühr) an das Land Neuseeland zahlen durfte. Ist ja lles schön und gut. Alles zum Erhalt dr Umwelt und der schönen Natur. Kein Problem. Wenn ich dann aber dran denk, dass wir in Pak and Save, Woolwerth und zahlreichen andren Supermärkten mit Plastiktüten überhäuft ...

So we are (still) trying to decide what to do - and finding it very difficult ! Now we have talked about, and thought of travelling for a few weeks and then going home in around April, its hard to adjust our heads back to maybe staying in Brisbane a few more months and just chilling out - we wouldnt have enough money to do anything crazy, but you never know how things are going to turn out and at least we'd still hopefully be able to do a week or two travelling ...

... Excuse me Sir is that a ring in your money belt" I kid you not. My heart rate goes up 1000%, I turn bright red and Barb standing next to me wonders what is going on. I tremble opening up the bag in front of Barb and wondering what to say - Should I drop on my knees and propose now at airport security.. Well it would be original but not exactly what I had in mind - My romantic plan was blown on day 1. I couldn't believe it! I peered in the bag ...

... the first pub we came across, Irish Murphys for a pint of Kilkenny then on to Nandos for a large super giant greasy combo chicken meal thing. We decided to keep drinking but after heading to a Belgian beer place with half pints for $12 and being accosted by Romanian Christians trying to convert the already very religious Lucy to Christianity we decided one pint was enough for the night and headed home. She did get a free book though. In the ...
