Brissy

Arrived in Brisbane a week ago. Been chillin out with my cousin, Alicia. She managed to get some extra time off work so we've been causing trouble in and around the city.
Made it out to the Autralian Zoo - the Steve Irwin Zoo in Queensland, Australia. I fed an elephant, watched a croc trainer just about get eaten by his 'pet' and watched a 200 year old tortoise poop...fun!
Alicia and I accomplished a few hikes throughout Mount Tamborine - Cedar Creek Falls and Witches Falls.
We terrorized the city a few days, checking out the touristy sites - Anzac Memorial, South Bank, a few ice cream shops, the best sushi restaurant in Brisbane, sailed down the Brisbane River on the CityCat and enjoyed a beer (and water) overlooking the city.
Nigel, Alicia's fiance, has managed to incorporate drinking a few nights this weekend...and when a weekend consists of only 2 nights, a few nights means every night! We went to the Regatta one evening, where I was told I HAVE to use the toilets. When I walked in, there was a window overlooking the restaurant where the urinals were. Basically, you pee onto a window with people walking on the other side but hey don't see you. I was amused.
The plan is to stay here a few more days before heading south the Gold Coast to meet up with Mitch and couple of his friends from Sydney.
