Update from Brisbane

Here I am in sunny (and rather muggy) Brisbane. Mum and myself flew here yesterday from Perth. The flight with Qantas took about 4 hours. It was quicker flying East because we have the wind at our back. We left Perth at 12.45 pm and were in Brisbane 4 hours later.

To recap since my last blog entry, here is what has happened since:

* Wednesday 3oth december. Mum, myself and Bill went on a river cruise to down the Swan river to Fremantle. It was a great cruise. We saw "millionaires row" and "new millionaires row" plus the Royal Perth Yacht club. It was a really good cruise. I did not realise how big or wide the river is. After the cruise we went to Burswood Hotel/Casino complex for lunch. The lunch was great and the hotel complex was very swanky: real 5 star stuff. We saw the Casino later. it was very big and packed with "punters" - probably all losing their money.

*Thursday the 31st - New Years eve. This was a do nothing day! The most exciting thing that I did was go for a walk along the beach. It was a good day to do nothing after such a busy week. We had a small New Year's eve celebration - just the three of us. We played the latest version of Trivial Pursuit - it uses a DVD to ask the key questions. It was cool.

*Friday the 1st January 2010 - flew to Brisbane.

As for today I am walking around Brisbane and just checking the place out.
