I ♥ Brisbane

We are now in Brisbane sience two days. The weather is still the same. Rain all day, sometimes thunderstorm. Hardly any time without water pouring from the sky.

I can t change the weather, so I have to get along with it. Somehow. After spending one night on a campsite just out of Brisbane, one of the worst nights ever till now on my trip, we decided to stay in a hostel the next two nights in Brisbane.

After some phonecalls we ended up in "Minto House", a very nice small hostel 5 minutes from the southbank in Brisbane. And it s not very expensiv, very few people stay here at the moment, the weather is just not right for this beautiful city. We spent some time walking thru the CBD. I decided to do the sight seeing tour with thongs (flipflops), umbrella, shorts and a tshirt. ood idea. I ended up walking barefoot thru town as it was too slippery. Toni has chosen to wear a poncho and noral shoes ... He ended up buying flipflops and an umbrella ... Much more convinient.

5 mins from the hostel and we are in Southbank, just opposite of the CBD on the other side of the Brisbane river! That's the coolest campus I have ever seen 

I would  love to live in Brisbane, this town is awsome. ALthough I haven t xperienced it in its warm and dry weather, I am sure it is a nice city.

In the evening we have been to the movies, Tron legacy 3D. You have to like the first one otherwise u don t really understand this one.

Today we have been to the Lone Pines Koala Sanctuary. or those people who can't get enough of those little creautures, that s the right spot. You can hug them, take pictures with them and other animals like Wallabies, Kangaroos. Nice park, worth the 24$ entrance fee.

 You ll find those everywhere ... Like a plague

 One of the other animlas they got at Lone Pines ... 2m wide if wings spread !!! It was so muddy in the park I decided to wear my Hiking boots ... Thongs would have failed here too

WOMBAT!!!! Finally I saw one ... Like a huge guinea pig

Tonite we ll go down to Southbank again, have a look and I ll taste some choclate from Max Brenner. Somebody recommended to do so. Why not :-D ?

Tomorrow we will try to head north, also some streets are flooded the way up. As long its not too bad I somehow get thru there with Patrick. Will add some extra thrill to the trip.

C ya guys and girls!
