Well, I'm in Brisbane at Tim's Aunt and Uncle's house, we just got in yesterday after a few days trip to Hamilton Island (seriously, google that shit, because I can't describe in full how awesome this place is.)
Hamilton Island was wonderful, it's "as far north" as Tim has ever been in Australia, and as a result, despite being winter, it was only chilly at night, and warm during the day... However, they don't believe in heating their outdoor pools, so swimming was a little bit too cold for my liking, but the fact that I even considered it at a 'mere 21 degrees' was enough to label me as Canadian. There were tropical flowers, birds, palm trees EVERYWHERE and no cars on the whole island, only golf buggies. It was so much fun. We were there for Tim's sister's wedding so there was all the family schmooze and drama and such that goes along with, but how can you be grumpy in tropical island weather? The cockatoos were as big as Canadian crows, and very brave; the other birds were super cute too I think they were called Rosettas. Tim and I also went off the main beaches and walked around on the rocky bits through some rich person's unused holiday home backyard and through a construction site (we couldn't get back up the way we came so we had to make due) and it was all very fun. The best part about it was meeting people from so many different states, and picking up all their fun slang. One of Bianca's (the bride) friends stayed with us a few nights, and she was hilarious. I also have never eaten so much cheese and crackers as I did those few days.
We're in Brisbane now, and we're going out tonight for dinner, so I will update about this section of the trip later, when I have more time. Mmm, Japanese food.
Cheers!
