A Nice Visit
Brisbane
We had been looking forward to this part of the trip since we started planning! This was some planned in down-time in a nice city to visit Nick and Bec and to meet newish baby Jamison!!
Our time was relaxing and our hosts were hospitable, just... Sick! Poor big guy Nick had a bad cold (?) and poor little baby Jams was suffering with bronchiolous, cutting a tooth, stuffed up and an ear infection. Talk about getting hit with it all at once, little man! Bec was just tired. Despite various ailments we did have a very nice visit with them.
Nathan and I also enjoyed a kayak down the Brisbane River, and in our wandering around also decided to give barefoot lawn bowling a shot. Don't make fun, it is apparently a young person's thing to do! We found that it was just like curling, sort of.
Nick also took us out for an amazingly fancy fancy dinner and we were tasked with eating all of the animals on Australia's coat of arms. I think we did pretty well, we had kangaroo, crocodile, and emu in various forms. We also had some spectacular local berries!
We are looking forward to seeing them when we return from Byron Bay, and are going to take them out for a dinner that we are hoping will remind them of where we met (on our trip to Egypt) shhh don't tell them, it's for pita with sand in it!!
