Last Saturday we took a night train from Sydney to Brisbane. It was a 14 hour ride on a freezing cold and rather uncomfortable train, but we made it to Brisbane in one piece. Once we got to the transit center there, we waiting around for an hour because a shuttle from the hostel was supposed to pick us up. The shuttle never showed, so we piled into a cab and got to the hostel that way. Once at the hostel, we couldn't check in because it was too early, so we hopped in the showers, checked our bags into the office, and headed off to do our own things for the day. Most of the group went to the Australia Zoo, which is where Steve Irwin used to work. Derek and I decided to stay behind and explore Morton Bay (the area we were staying at) and just hang out for the day. We ended up having a fantastic time just relaxing, watching movies, making food, etc. Here is a picture of Derek and I in front of the boys room (each room in the hostel was music themed... I stayed in the Pop room.)
The next day we all headed to Surfers Paradise, which is supposed to be one of the best surfing beaches in Australia. It was really beautiful on the beach (although there was a tsunami warning when we were there). Here are a few pictures from Surfers Paradise....
The next day we flew from Brisbane to Cairns! But in order to avoid boring you to death, I will write about Cairns tomorrow.
Happy Easter!
