Finally Posting in Brisbane!!!
Hey there everybody, and sorry it took so long to get the first official post of the trip up! First of all, let me tell you that 15 hour plane rides and my size don't really go hand in hand. Luckily I am able to fall asleep just about anywhere so I pulled my hat over my eyes, turned on my iPod, and I was out!
The customs line in the Brisbane airport was fairly long, but it moved pretty quickly. We made it through without any problems and were able to keep the cookies that we did not finish on the flight.
We found our way to the hostel, with a little help from an information desk, dropped off our bags and went for a walk around the city. We some how stumbled upon the Roma Street Parkland, which has a huge garden and an even bigger lake. We hung out there for a while and walked around taking pictures of the flowers and tropical plants.
We returned to the hostel to find out that they double booked our room and we were moved to a 11 bed dorm, which wasn't bad, its just the principle of the matter. We quickly decided that we needed to find a new place to stay... which we did right in downtown Brisbane! (I am in the internet bar of this hostel typing this.)
