the city where the sun is in love with the land

I think I deserved to be spanked for being slacked in updating my blog. Here it goes, an overdue posting on my trip to Brisbane.

I was there recently with my cousin, Angie visiting my sister, Theresa. It's a city where the sun always shines and the sky is always blue. Over there, I woke up every morning to the sound of happy birds chirping in the backyard. It's so refreshing for my mind and my soul. Brisbane, it is indeed a very lovely city.

The trip was fun except it is too dry over there since Australia is practically a desert, and my skin got too dry and itchy. Ouch. On top of that, Queensland is having a level 5 water restriction due to little rainfall. So, we had to be very careful of water usage. Double ouch.

Anyway, here are some pictures I took in Brisbane, Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast.


Shopping @ Queen Street in the city (Note: the man behind me has gazillion of tattoos on his body!)


Sunshine Coast - lovely beach!




Aussie World @ Sunshine Coast


"Everybody do kungfu fighting! Hoo-hah! Oh Oh Oh Ohhhhh..."


Ahhh.. a lesson learnt on the way to the loo! hehe..


Oops! I did it again!?


Cute two-seater Harley! I wanna ride in it!


The "Big Pineapple" @ Sunshine Coast


Check out my new bf - the gingerbread man @ the Ginger Factory in Sunshine Coast


Dinner @ a Taiwanese restaurant with my cousin, sis and her friends.

Abalone! with yucky ginger and garlic chopped into a ugly looking paste on top of the abalone.


Gold Coast (Note: check out the guy behind me, he has piercing everywhere on his body! )

My dinner


My dessert! a must-have after every meal! can never get enough of ice-cream in Oz!


Simply divine! mouth watering Japanese cuisine!


Itsy bitsy cutesy Vespa in yellow. See how it matches my dress! hehe..

That pretty much sum up my trip in Brisbane. Left Brisbane for Perth after spending one week there. Spent another day in Perth and it's adios to Australia.

I still love Oz! I bet Oz loves me too! hahahaha....
