It's so weird that the Pacific Ocean is on the east coast...
after a Skype sesh with my sis our 1st day in Brisbane, yesterday, was pretty amazing.
we walked around in search for breaky & coffee, found a cafe with delicious coffee, outside seating and really tasty breakfast sandwiches... after breakfast we wandered around a shopping area near the Botanical Gardens. We ventured over to Target before we set out to see more of the city but instead we decided to drive to the Gold Coast to see the waves that Danny will be surfing...
The most foreign feeling in a foreign country is driving on the left side of the road... it is so weird. The car is a mirror image of itself from normal cars, even the blinkers are on the opposite side...not only is driving on the left side of the road scary, but when your windshield wipers turn on super fast when you are trying to make a lane change or signaling to turn instead of your actual blinkers, it can be scarier...
After our drive with too many almost driving on the 'wrong' side of the road incidences, we made it to the Gold Coast --- we spent some time walking on the beach to Snapper Rocks. It was exciting to see the skyline of our new city from the beach.
Cause for concern number 2: the sun --- the sun is super intense, good thing we packed a crap ton of sunscreen.
After the Gold Coast, we drove back to Brisbane and drove West (which is now inland) to check out some wild roos next to a prison property. I cannot describe how excited Danny and I were when we saw them hanging out on the side of the road ...they are so cute I don't think I can eat roo meat....
