13/11/2017 0 Comments blog #5 : Travel diary - BrisbaneI landed into Brisbane on the 4th November at 7.30PM local time, My Great Uncle was waiting for me at the arrival gate. Stepping out of the plane was a shocker because I literally felt like my skin and my phone screen turned wet because of the humidity. It was completely different from where I was just 2.5 hours prior to landing.
Only a couple things made me miss Tasmania on that first night; the smell of chlorine when having a shower and the drinking water. The water tasted rank because of how treated it was. The following day, Sunday 5th November, I went to the church I was dedicated in as a baby. I grew up in Brisbane until I was 8 or 9 (cannot remember oops) and it was actually super nice to be back where I have so many memories. My cousin and his girlfriend came and picked me up afterwards and we went to ‘Frenchie’s Cafe’. GUESS WHAT! You can bring your dog along while you eat food and grab a coffee. It was brilliant because I was surrounded by dogs and I could not believe that they had a menu dedicated to food for our dog. That’s not all, when the waitress brought over table water they also brought over a dog bowl full of water so your doggy doesn't get left out. I was in heaven! I cannot believe that it’s a real thing. Anyways, I went to the park afterwards for a walk and ended up catching up with some more family which was amazing. I hadn’t seen them for roughly 3 years so that was real special. Later in the afternoon I got to meet up with a childhood best friend and I swear we have been apart for 10 years but as soon as we were together it felt like nothing had changed and we still had the same amount of love for each other. We ate Acai bowls and went ‘window shopping’ which actually was me spending my Sunshine Coast budget on new pants and a top. They are mint though so, no regrets. I talked with her for what seemed like 15 minutes but really, it was close to four hours. I can’t wait to see her more often and go to the coast together and eventually do a trip to Tasmania when we both get the chance. My time in Brisbane was only short but that’s kind of good because I’m not really interested in the city life. Next stop, Sunshine Coast. Disclaimer: I have already been to Sunny Coast but I am so slow at putting up these blogs! I’ll be posting the Sunshine Coast Travel Diary tomorrow! (14th November)
