2/20/02 Brisbane, OZ (Kelly)
This morning we packed up our things in the YHA and moved hostels. The hostel we moved to is $9 cheaper and on the other side of town. I feel like we are back in the Pacific...our dorm has no air condition. By now we are pretty used to that though! We went to the Queensland Museum (Brisbane is in the state of Queensland) later this afternoon for a couple of hours. It was decent but I'm getting a little tired of museums. A lot of it is the same stuff over and over. We then walked down to the South Bank where there was a lagoon with a man-made beach. It was definitely relaxing but the best part is that it was free. However, to put a little stress in the day, when I went to the restroom to put my swim suit on I left my water bottle in there (my $50 water filter bottle.) Luckily, it showed up in the parks information lost and found. Thank God--I thought I was going to have make my first insurance claim. Tonight Phill and I are walking back down to the lagoon. "Chocolat" is playing in a huge field for free so we thought it would be fun and give us something to do tonight.
A few hours later....Okay, so we just got back from the movie...boy was it packed. It looked like a huge lawn concert...blankets, towels, and lawn chairs were all over the place. The field was encompassed by a lot of tropical plants, including palm trees. Looking through all of the trees you could see the river, with nicely lit up steam boats passing by on a regular basis. Reminded me of a scene in a really cheesy "boy meets girl" movie.
