Busy day in Brisbane

I arrived yesterday afternoon in Brisbane! I find busses exhausting so I went for a bit of a walk around the city and relaxed.

But this morning, I woke super early and dragged Alex with me to the other side do the city. I have been following a bakery owner for ages, before I left England. And a few months ago I realised she was based in brisbane so immediately added it to my list for brisbane. Since then I told Alex and we both agreed to go when we met in Brisbane. So 8am, we are walking across half the city for 40 minutes to Brooki bakery.

And because we are crazy we decided to walk for another 40 minutes along the Riverside to a little park on the furthest edge of the city to our hostel. Why? Who knows, but it was pretty.

Anyways, these cookies. Omg. Amazing. Divine. Gorgeous. Better than I was expecting. 10/10. I cannot rave about these enough. So good. I mean, look at that cross section! We got the NYC cookie (the best seller) and the biscoff one and shared so we could try both.

We then decided to begin the 2hr walk back but we're thankfully stopped by a helpful local after over hearing us complain about the price of the boat. One of the boats is free and thanks to them we decided to get it. The boat ran from where we were all the way to the centre of the city. We got off a few stops earlier so we could walk through southbank.

By this point we had been out for around 4hrs so I left Alex in the city and headed back to my hostel to change and relax before I met Mia for lunch.

Mia and I met in Albany back in March, so 6months ago. We have both done so much since and we were instant friends then and it happened again today. We met at 1pm and finally left the restaurant at 8pm. We spent over 7hrs just talking about everything. I am definitely going to miss her as she is probably never going to never leave Aus despite growing up in England very close to me. Hopefully we shall meet again one day.Read more
