Brisbane

I was back on my own as I headed for Brisbane. All I could really think about was getting some good sleeps. My plan for the next 10 days was to make my way over land through the Gold Coast to Sydney, doing the whole beach thing along the way.

I arrived in Brisbane 5:00am. I made it to my hostel by 7:00am, but wasn’t allowed to check into my room until noon. I left my pack in storage, and headed for downtown. I grabbed a coffee and started reading in the food court, almost falling asleep many times. I knew I had to walk around to stay awake.

I spent most of the day walking around the city, taking care of a few jobs. That night I was able to meet up with an old friend, Stan, who I worked with at Tanamakoon. He's from Denmark, enjoying the beaches and rugby in Brisbane, while finishing up his masters.
