Hello readers! We are in the lovely, laid back hippy town of Byron Bay where we are enjoying a well earned break from activities and chilling out, which is what everyone seems to be doing in this town! Just spent a few hours on the fab beach and have returned now to the hostel for a bit of internet-ing before we head out for a bite and a few drinks. We had a good time in Brisbane. It’s a lovely city – very busy though! We spent a lovely day strolling around the botanic gardens and then over to South Bank where we went to a Leonardo Da Vinci exhibition (culture vultures again!) before taking a spin on the Brisbane wheel to get an aerial view of the city.
We had a great night out on the town on friday night. We met up with some friends from home and generally had a lot of fun and some sore heads the next morning!
So, it’s on to Sydney on the overnight bus tommorrow evening, after no doubt another day of chilling out on the beach in Byron Bay (it’s actually still quite warm down here, Brisbane got pretty chilly in the evenings). We’ve went all out and splashed out on a hotel in Sydney for 5 nights. Looking forward to the bit of luxury! Champagne backpackers here we come!
