Can't quite remember where I left off last time! On sunday we drove to Seaworld with the kids for fun fuelled day of dolphin shows (free willy style kind of place) shark watching, polar bear spying icecream eating fun. Lots of rollercoaster rides which I was designated official children's aide so by the time I'm been on several of them several times my tummy was a bit whizzed up for lunch. It was really fun to see some of the native marine life of Oz though and the kids loved it too.
On the way home I was driven to Surfers Paradise on the Gold coast (which is where the aquarium place is based), massively gorgeous beach, huge huge waves and fine white sand with the quintessential aussie lifeguards to match, phwoar. Arrived back to have dinner with some extended family of the rellies I'm staying with, had my first Aussie barbie, and got given a steak literally LITERALLY the size of my face, delicious.
The kids were at school so I spent the day at the cultural centre of Brisbane, went to a fantastic exhibition of Ron Mueck's work and bought a couple of prints in the shop for me to frame and pop up on my wall when i'm older and settled in a first house I reckon. Weather in Brisbane is distinctly warmer than that of Sydney.
Today I'm relaxing, reading my book and baking cupcakes for tonight when I fly to Adelaide to be with my family, we're all having dinner together at my Uncle and Aunts house and I simply cannot wait. I'm sure I'll update this when I arrive, my first week is apparently fuelled with wine tasting, chocolate tasting, a party, sightseeing, Adelaide zoo, walking in the adelaide hills, a ferry and overnight stay on Kangaroo Island (yes that is a real place) before I arrive back to leave for the Simpson a week on thurday! Manic!!! Love to all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
