Holiday. Brisbane 21st - 23rd November 2009.

So, we arrived in Brisbane airport at 6.50am. I was thinking cool we are here until I saw the state of customs! It was absolute mayhem. When we finally got through at 8am - my mate Angie advised us that 4 flights (including ours) arrived at the same time! (arrrgh). We were stuffed - absolutely tired out.... especially having dragged Flynn along. His ears had started playing up and with having to get up in Wellington at 3.30am, well, it was all too much really! Still we were in Brisbane and really ready to get into it!

The first day, we get back to Angie and Shanes house from the airport. Brand new built home, Very modern and lovely! Open plan and space galore! Loved it!

We went to look around a few shops and went to a BBQ that night at a friends house of Shane and Angies. Very relaxed people and easy to get on with!

Nathan spinning Shane and Angie a yarn at the BBQ.

Unfortunately it would appear that Flynns ears didn't agree with either the plane trip or the heat as he wasn't too happy in Brisbane and also didn't seem to cope too well with how hot it was over there. (I think it was his ears more than the heat!).

Flynn having a day nap on the couch - poor wee man, we ended up going to the chemist and getting him some panadol which only helped slightly.

Angie and I have breakfast at the outside table. I can not explain how amazingly warm it was there. Most of the time I was in a singlet and shorts or a maxi dress!!

The second day we went to Harbour Town in on the Gold Coast to SHOP!! Yeahar bring it on!!
Along the way we saw a bush fire. (Shane said it was probably someone who had dropped a ciggie out their window!)

We had a great day shopping and kinda wished we had brought more now in hindsight, however we still managed to spend bucket loads of money! A good time all around!!

That night we were sitting at the outside table and saw this gekko thing eating a moth, hense the photo - simply because we don't get them at home!

The third day we had to stay inside with the aircon on all day, it was way too hot outside for us poor south islanders that can't stand the heat! We managed to get our suitcases packet and cleaned up after ourselves (hopefully ;-) ) We left Brisbane around 7pm to head off to Adelaide.

Thanks Shane and Angie for an awesome time and showing us around!
