brisbane, part two

So many photos!  Here we go…

Day 1 (don’t worry, we were only away for 7 days!)

We walked through the city, then met up with Dave’s brother and walked through the Botanic Gardens and over to South Bank…Toby thought the fig trees were amazing!

Day 2

After some early morning photography from our balcony on the 35th floor, we wandered back through the Botanic Gardens.  After some ice cream we looked through a market in South Bank, then the boys went swimming at Streets Beach (in the rain!  The only time it rained while we were there)

Days 3, 4 + 5

Strolled through a fabulous food market – look at the gorgeous colours of those macarons!  And the huge pans of paella…yum.

Then we spent hours and hours at the museum (particularly its science centre), art galleries and the library…and just playing in the sand!

A spot of shopping on day 6, and then (what the boys have been waiting for since Christmas…) Dreamworld on day 7!  Toby and Dave are on the roller coaster above, third seats from the front (see Dave’s long legs?!).

Good thing they’re so cute or we never would have let them out (those aren’t their feet, by the way…)

Such a lovely holiday!  And now it’s nice to be home…I missed my sewing machine!
