Saturday 8th November - week 1 in Brisbane

Well, on Tuesday I placed a bet on a horse for the Melbourne Cup, but didn't win anything :-( Did manage to spend a few hours in the pub though, which isn't such a bad thing. After that we went back to the hostel to change ready for our night out. It was a good night, but I really suffered the next day!! Didn't move from the hostel the next day and just felt sorry for myself. The only food I had on me were cereal bars, so just nibbled on them all day!!!

We checked out of our hostel on Thursday, and didn't have anywhere else to stay so spent a while phoning hostels to try and find one with vacancies (not an easy or fun task!!). We eventually got into a 4 bed at Cloud 9, so made our way over there. This one is a bit closer to the centre, which is good. After doing that we caught a taxi (tried to get a bus, but they are so confusing - we were sent to 3 different bus stops across the city and they were all the wrong ones) over to the planetarium. This was a nice afternoon, and after getting back into the city (managed the bus this time!!) did a bit of shopping and then headed back to the hostel.

Yesterday (Friday) we decided to go to the Warner Bros Movie World theme park. This park was pretty small compared to others, and also a lot of rides were shut for work because it was out of season. Despite this though it was a good day, saw Shrek in 4d, and managed a few rides!! We were all pretty tired last night then so just had a chill out night.

Today I am just planning to put my i-pod on and wonder around the city and see what I see pretty much.
