This is actually the innaugural entry for a new blog I'm creating for all my Australian holidays. I've been scanning old family photos and wanted somewhere to put them all without messing up my main blog. But starting out with my last trip to Queensland.
So day 1, a Thursday, we got up pretty much at normal time and drove ourselves to the airport (for five days the difference between parking and taking taxis works out fairly similar).
The flight was in a 737-800. Seated up the back on the left. It was pretty foggy in Canberra, but our flight was only delayed for about ten minutes. The fog meant we couldn't really see much straight after takeoff.
Snack of banana bread on the plane.
Approached Brisbane from the south, but came in and landed from the north-east, so no good views of Brisbane.
After collecting our bags, we went over to pick up our hire car. It was really strange - Stu had been given the details of the car, we literally just had to get in it and go - just showing Stu's licence on the way out the gates. Bizarre.
Got to Chay and David's and chatted for a while, before heading out to pick up some supplies. Had a pretty quiet afternoon just chatting.
We got lots of pizzas for dinner, then watched Monsters University. But David was sick, so there was no singstar, just a relatively early night.
