Day 1 - Brisbane's South Bank

Well I cannot speak highly enough about the quality service we received from Singapore Airlines on our journey here. Despite being reluctant to miss out on TV time, Callum did listen and slept on the first flight as we had planned, meaning we could arrive in the evening at Brisbane ready for a sleep. So no noticeable jet lag so far!

Today we ventured into town by bus and spent most of the afternoon at the  beach and splash park on the south bank- not unlike London's south bank- complete with theatre, museum, expo centre and Brisbane Wheel.

Callum found it hard initially at the beach, as he couldn't find other English speaking children. On the end we were saved by a lovely family from Adelaide with 2 and 5 year old girls who CJ latched onto. I was touched when he said at the end - by which time he was really getting cold - that he really must go and say thank you to the family.

We relaxed at a chocolate shop, where we were served by a girl from Devon
And then enjoyed supper at the surf club.

Finally we returned to the Brisbane wheel to use our night time free trip! Great view.
