The alarm
rang at 8am and we were up around 9. We had breakfast and checked out at 10am.
We did a bit of planning for the next day: renting a car + hostel.
Then we
went to the beach from 11am to 1.30 pm. I took a body-board again. This time we
went to a different beach, and headed left once on the main beach in front of
the hostel. We played in the waves a bit. One after the other to keep an eye on
the bags. There are a bit more people today.
I played
in the waves with the board. D. is not feeling great today. We tanned and went
in the water repeatedly as it was so hot! We also read and played with the
waves.
We came
back to the hostel because D. had enough. We had lunch, planned some more and
actually book something. D booked a car and looked at insurance while I read.
Quickly time run out and we had to rush if we wanted to catch the bus that
would take us to the ferry and head back to Brisbane.
We left
the hostel at 4:05, the bus arrived at 2:30 (10 min late), and luckily we
arrived on time for the ferry at 5pm. I could not sleep and ‘I had no more
motion sickness tablets….’ So I laid on of the seat. Back on mainland, we
jumped in the bus, but in the train station we missed the train as we did not
have our return ticket for Brisbane.
D is a
bit on edge and reacted badly to something I said. The train journey was silent.
In Brisbane we stopped at Fortitude Valley (near China Town and Story Bridge).
The new hostel is close to where we are going to rent the car. We arrived
around 7.3pm. We checked in and went out for dinner (8pm). We got 2 for 1 big pizza
at $15.
After
dinner, we chose to walk it off, which was wise because we were so full! We
went to Story Bridge and walked along the river until Eagle Street Pier and
back to the hostel. By 9.40pm we were in bed with books, tired!
Walked 5.25 km today.
Slept in a mixed room, in Brisbane Bunk Backpackers.
