Christmas in Oz Part 1

Hey Gentle Readers, I hope your Xmas is as good as you hoped it would be.

Lena, Robert and I arrived in Brisbane early on Christmas Eve and the first thing we noticed was the heat.

Waiting for the "Hot" Air Train.

After weeks cold (well less than 15 degrees) in Foshan, to walk out into 30+ temps was unusual.

Brisbane is a nice city but the area our hotel was located seemed a bit run down. We got to our hotel and although a bit rough around the edges it seemed ok. We decided to go out to see the new Star Wars movie and returned to the hotel about 10.30 after seeing the Xmas lights of Brisbane.

Wow! The Thomsons are impressed.

Unfortunately when we returned to the hotel the room was teaming with bugs, small cockroaches mostly. We complained asked to speak to the manager etc but nothing was done.

So we found another hotel and left. We arrived after midnight.

More on this soon.
