Brisbane!

Finally a "good weather" weekend so that means we did a trip and that we have something to talk about on the blog!

Saturday was a nice, sunny, but a bit windy day! We went to Brisbane on the bikes and Philippe installed my iPhone as a GPS! It worked very well! It takes about an hour to go to Brisbane from Robina. Some pictures on our way:

At South Bank, one of the nicest places of Brisbane we met Jenna, another PhD student at my faculty. First we did the South Bank lifestyle market, a nice small market with jewellery, arts, crafts, clothes,...
Then we walked passed Brisbane Beach, a man-made beach in the middle of the city that overlooks the Brisbane River and the Central Business District. We walked over the South bank walkway. Then it was time for a sandwich that we ate next to the Brisbane river:

After lunch we walked pas a little temple, the Brisbane Wheel, the cultural centrum, over a bridge, passed the casino, through the main shopping street,...

After our walk we went to the Belgian Beer Cafe! Lots of Belgian beers! Nice place to go and have a drink! We also had some food, but this was a bit expensive for what it was...

After our stop in the Belgian beer cafe, we walked to the Botanic Gardens and we walked along the Brisbane river.

After the botanic gardens we crossed the brisbane river again and we went to South bank again for a walk.

Then we walked to the Suncorp stadion. Jenna's boyfriend was one of the referees so we could go to the game with her. Brisbane was playing against Newcastle. There was a good atmosphere in the stadium and it was a good game. Brisbane made an own goal early in the game but after that they had so many changes but they only could make one goal.

After the game we went back home on the bike! It was cold!!!! During the day it was so warm, but it was only 15 degrees after the game. Freezing!

We had a very good day! We saw a lot, we walked a lot and enjoyed Brissie!

Sunday is a relaxing day and doing some work in the house... grocery shopping, laundry,...

Don't forget to leave a reaction on the blog posts if you like! I always enjoy reading them!
