We arrived and stayed in a hostel across from the main city centre, s The central location meant that we went straight out into the evening entertainment. We just immersed ourselves in home comforts, it was fantastic!
Everyone we had spoken to had not liked Brisbane, we felt completely different about the city half way down the east coast. Having spent an uncomfortable night with the world's wierdest snorrer (not me or me) we felt we had to find somewhere else. This was also our first experience of people actually living in hostels as they looked for work and started to build a life on the other side of the world.
We have to thank Dan & Mary who thereafter put up with us for five days. They were fantastic in coming to meet us in town and allowing us to use their home as a base from which to explore the city.
We say explore but in all honesty the majority of the time was spent shopping or in parks, coffee shops or just walking the streets, not in a dodgy way obviously.
What the city didnt have historically it made up for in amminities, cinemas, restaurants and clubs.
This was a really great week topped off by an awesome Valentine's day if i do say so myself, but that is not for me to explain. What is for me to explain is to tell all you people to never use Interflora Australia, the most unreliable company in the world!!
