I made it

Hooray! Huzzah! Woohoo! well, you get the idea :) I made it to Brisbane! 26 hours on a flipping coach after leaving Cardwell. Thankfully it was a lovely and nice coach rather that the rattling falling apart one that conveyed me down to Cardwell from Cairns. I knew it was going to be a fairly tough journey when every single person I talked to on the coach winced visibly when I said I was going all the way through to Brisbane. Still, I'm here now with my sanity more or less intact (although I was forced to sit through 'Elf' from which I have not quite yet recovered from the tendancy to burst into Christmas songs but I'm getting there!). If my timing is right, mum will already be on her way to London by now to catch her flight. She'll arrive at 9.30pm Sunday GMT, 6.30am Monday for me. I'm still trying to think of things to do with her (the Australia Zoo seems a fairly safe bet) but I'm sure we'll get there! I'm still excited, I can't wait to see her :D Right, I need food. Time for an explore of the West End of Brisbane's streets.
