13. Brisbane, Australia - Take 2

The bus journey was from 5pm to 8pm so not too long in regards to Australian standards! When we got to Brisbane we had to do the walk from the bus transit centre (Roma Street) to the hostel (Bunk Backpackers) again...we had now done this three times! But least we know where we're going I guess.

Best we could do with the bus motion!

On the way to the hostel we spotted a photo opportunity, involving kangaroos.

 

We got to bunk and checked in. After all these dorms we've been in, we haven't had any really bad experiences at all. Always nice lovely clean rooms, nice people. But this one, thankfully we were only staying for one night, absolutely stunk...of dirty clothes and just not very nice things. Safe to say we got straight our as soon as we could!

 

We headed down to the kitchen and had noodles for tea (20 cents a meal...bargain!!). And these were tasty as usual! And YES I do look pregnant in that picture below but its the terrible posture I had at that moment in time!

 

We then went outside and over to see the gorgeous Brisbane city skyline! :) it was absolutely amazing!

 

We then tentatively went back to the dorm and went to bed! Bare in mind it was 11.30pm, to our pleasure there were girls talking and laughing at full volume which was realllyyyyy appreciated! Thankfully we nodded off pretty much straight away, kind of!

In the morning we got up about 9 and headed for breakfast. Didn't want to come back to the dorm so took our bags and checked out. Plus time was pushing on anyway so wouldn't of had time to go back up!

We had some toast and cornflakes and off we went. On the walk we love to do, for the fourth time, back to Roma Street bus station hehehe.

We were pushing it and got there 10 mins before it was departing, thankfully we checked in pretty much straight away and off we went, on our way to Sunshine Coast!!!

P.S you may be wondering why we have come back to Brisbane. Basically we have a package which includes hop on hop off bus travel from Brisbane to Cairns. Due to Surfer Paradise and Byron Bay being south of Brisbane, this wasn't part of the package. So we had to return to Brisbane to officially begin our pass! Just in case you were interested :)

Off to Sunshine Coast we go! :)
