Throwback Thursday... Brisbane...


I thought I would share with you my traveling experiences from my previous trip to Australia. Starting with the reason I went to Australia in the first place. All because of the Lions Rugby Tour....

I was lucky enough to come out to Australia with my previous job. I was an event co-ordinator at the time, which meant, I had to look after clients who booked tickets and travel packages with us. 

My first stop was Brisbane for the first test match. We had clients based mainly in the Rydges hotel on the Southbank, which was where our office was based. I did like Brisbane but there wasn't much to do to be honest. I do want to go back though and properly explore as I didn't get much chance to do so, so maybe I'm missing something...

I did, however, find a great chocolate shop called San Churro which has delicious churros! I used to have the churros for dinner instead of having a proper meal! Very healthy! 


I was there for a week, although, I did spend quite a lot of my time in the office working. I did, nevertheless, have chance to go to the first test match which was amazing to see everyone getting so involved in the game. The stadium was packed! 


Stay tuned for part 2 coming soon... Throwback Thursday... Heron Island...

Keeping you posted.

Twenty nine weeks down...


This week was a breath of fresh air compared to last week! The weather has been soo much better than last week. It's reminded me why I fell in love with Sydney in the first place!

Monday I opted to skip salsa and chill in the apartment. So on Tuesday I decided to head to Soda Factory in Surry Hills for $2.00 hot dogs and cider with the roomies.

 

I went to dance practice as usual on Thursday, although, my dance partner couldn't make it. It was pretty awkward to start off with but I danced with another guy and practiced the lifts with him instead. Check it out...




Afterwards I came back and headed to the Ivy but we ended up queuing for over an hour so we gave up and went home! 


Friday the roomies and I headed to Taronga Zoo which was incredible. I don't usually like zoos but this one was sooo good and the views were stunning. 


Friday evening we headed to Darling Harbour and went on a booze cruise along the harbour. It was so much fun we spent the evening dancing away with the most amazing views.



Saturday I headed to the Botanical gardens where the roomate and I made the most of the sun. 



We then headed back to get ready for a night out. We had pre-drinks then met a few friends at the opera bar for drinks which was good fun. I don't think I will ever get use to the views there.

Afterwards we went to the Argle in the rocks, which was a good laugh, especially as most of the housemates were out.


Sunday was spent on the couch nursing my head after three days of drinking! 

Keeping you updated.
