I used up all my airpoints on tickets to Brisbane for Duncan & I. We left yesterday at 9:00, fairly civilized but the family was still up at 4:30 a.m. to get to the airport. The trip to Sydney was pretty uneventful, as was the stop over and next trip to Brisbane. We caught the train to the gold coast, caught it by the skin of our teeth, saved a 1/2 hour wait. The traveling was getting to Duncan by this time and he managed to catch a few minutes kip on my shoulder
We were met by Nikki and went back to where she stays with Phil who I met for the first time, nice guy, doesn't say too much. We also met their neighbour Erin, a very vivacious 24 year old. Dinner was roast pork and I sampled a fair bit of Phil's home brew, I also had a bit of red wine with Nikki, which proved a mistake, I am no longer able to drink lots of booze, I don't think I made too much of a fool of myself, but I was not feeling to bright when I went to bed, and the head was a little sore this morning.
This morning we took Nikki to Brisbane airport as she was heading over to South Africa for Dieter's (her son) wedding. She's a bit nervous as she has not seen the family in SA for a few years now. After dropping her at the airport, Duncan & I were going to go to the Brisbane museum, but the traffic getting into Brisbane city was so bad we gave up and drove back to the gold coast and spent some time at Surfers Paradise. Tomorrow were planning on going to Wet 'n Wild, a water based theme park as the weather here is really warm.
