Colin had an early morning walk and watched us cruising up the Brisbane River to our dock at the Brisbane Cruise Terminal – a lovely newish complex of apartment blocks, shops and cafes. So good to be on Oz soil again after an amazing adventure over the last 6 weeks.
We met some good friends for brunch at one of the cafes on the port complex for a long catch up chatter, and an hour later moved a few metres over to Max Brenners for a little 'chocolate' delight!! It was such a lovely day, even if it was very, very warm – 33deg.
As we have been to Brissy many times, there was no sightseeing planned for today. We had one agenda for the afternoon and that was to buy Ninjargo Leggo, which our grandsons had requested before we left home, with the promise that they would be very good boys…. Ha! Ha! We had hoped to buy it in Asia, but had no luck – they either didn't have the one we wanted, and then in Japan, it was very expensive. Our friend took us to K-Mart and lo and behold there it was, and on special!!! It was then back to the port for a wonder around the very nice shops, but resisted temptation.
It was our last, but lovely sailaway out of Brisbane – just a beautiful balmy night and next port will be Sydney. We arrived at our dinner table to find two new couples joining us – one couple just doing the 2 days to Sydney, the other couple doing 4 days - to Sydney and then back to Brisbane. We bombarded (and probably bored) them with our trip stories and adventures and it sounds like they are keen to take longer voyages in the near future, hopefully we helped with their thinking.
A quiet evening tonight – just a night cap at the Wheelhouse and darn, we lose an hour – ouch….. We arrived back to our cabin to find chocolates and rose petals!!!
