Having a good nights sleep made all the difference and we used the opportunity to have a slow and relaxed morning. Rather than rushing off we made use of the good internet and comfortable sitting areas to make plans and book a few things for the next few days.
The idillic verandah
In the afternoon we had booked ourselves into a tour at the Brisbane City Hall, which was surprisingly interesting and even included a lot about the history of Brisbane itself. I really would recommend the tour to anyone visiting the city! Unfortunately we were both so engrossed we actually failed to take photos!
View FROM City Hall. We failed to photograph the actual city hall! 😀
After the tour we self-created a bit of a walking tour along the Brisbane river down to Streets Beach (A man-made beach near the river) and through the Botanic gardens. We stopped plenty of times for photos of flora and fauna and it was a really nice and relaxed afternoon.
It was pretty cool to be walking through the botanic gardens with the background of the skyscrapers of the Brisbane CBD!
Pedestrians walking on wifi bikes?
By the time we got back to the city we were ravenous. We decided to trust trip advisor and check out Corbett and Claude, an Italian restaurant with pretty good reviews. It was a bit of a hike to get there and we decided to walk along the river. At one point I noticed this strange sign. Standard symbols tell me it’s something about wifi and bikes?
It actually means that bike riders should ring their bell when overtaking pedestrians of course, but I just thought it was terrible use of symbols!
The dinner was super nice though. We both had a pretty basic pasta and they were both delicious.
With our parking getting close to expiry we rushed back…. The Parking fees were a touch high!
$35 for the day until 6pm and $5 for every hour thereafter.
When we got home we decided to have an early night because we knew had an early start coming up!
