Australia Day Break - 2012

Final day in Brisbane and it was interesting. Not so much in what happened, although having the checkin balls up by Air Australia wasn't amusing. Started chatting to a guy online and it developed into quite a conversation. It was a shame that I didn't chat to him earlier, but I have fallen before to quickly, that's how I ended up with a credit with Virgin. At least this might given a reason to use the credit on a return trip to Brisbane. Posted via Blogaway

Australia Day Break - 2012

Today I spent alone, although for part of it I was surrounded by lots of people. Had a lazy morning and left the hotel about 11. Went into the shopping centre of Brisbane and proceeded to shop. Bought a couple of tight t-shirts and other clothing. Replaced my adidas baseball cap with a slaznger one. The evening was very quiet. Watched movie and then went in search of food. Walked around the block but failed to find anything suitable. Chatted to a couple of guys over the day but neither was available this.

Australia Day Break - 2012

Second day in Brisbane and it's raining. I spent most of the day with my friend Sox, returning to the hotel in time for a drink with Colin, who'd I'd chatted to online. Had dinner with Doug & Sox again at the Mecca Bar down at the Emporium, very nice food and lots of it. Very satisfied after the meal. Posted via Blogaway

Australia Day Break - 2012

Flew up to Brisbane for a long weekend break in not so sunny Brisbane. Took Air Australia flight from Melbourne, comfortable but not remarkably different from other domestic airlines. Brisbane is warm and humid, but not uncomfortable. Staying at what was the Portal Hotel & I ' m sure that my previous room had a microwave, but this one does not. It is fine for a single person but two might find it cramped. Had dinner with my friends Sox and Doug at a local pub, and it was an enjoyable evening. Caught up with Sox & Doug, drank some wine and had a nice dinner out in Brisbane at the Sportmans Hotel, not far from the hotel. Posted via Blogaway

The mystery of my body

Been suffering with severe gastro wind over the last few days, that is refusing to move. It's even caused back pain and when did I get the pot belly! I have had to move my belt back a notch! Posted via Blogaway

Nice break

I've had a nice time off work. Relaxed, no pressure to do anything. Got up late and stayed up late.
