On the first night we went to the Australian Outback Spectacular which is a dinner show (another tick off the bucket list). It was good. Very funny, informative, Aussie, and had a lot of tricks involved. On the way in you get a cowboy hat to wear and it has a color on it depending on what team you are assigned. I thought that was clever and was good audience participation. The food was good; just real basic cooking. The green beans were like they had been picked right out of the garden. Oh and apple pie for dessert. I never had apple pie in my life and I usually hate pie unless it is meat but I ended up eating mine and Andreas:) We were top rail (high class hehehe) so we got some perks as well. You know how I like that. It really was a great time. Check out the website here. No pictures allowed inside.
The next day we went to Movie World which is like a Disneyworld but on a smaller scale and with warner brothers characters. So basically the same but different (my mom loves when I say that). It was really cute I thought. Again, there are some pictures on my Flickr here but probably look at the website. We went and watched Rio in 4D and walked around a lot looking at all the cool things. Oh and then when we were sitting eating ice cream, Batman came by in the Batmobile. That was mad cool. Luckily he drove by again and we had recovered from enough to take photos. Best thing about there was that now I am a proud owner of Hermione's wand from Harry Potter...it was a magic day...hahaha get it?
The third day we rode the hop on hop off bus around which is always really not worth the money but this time it was alright. We took it to the Brisbane Wheel which was cheesy but we had already bought tickets for it. Basically just a ferris wheel but it did have some good views of the rest of Brisbane. Then we went and ate at Puerto which is part of a reality show competition here called Restaurant Revolution. The theme of the restuarant was East meets Mex...and yeah the concept is weird. Anyway, this Asian lady waltzes over to our table and starts high fiving us and asking if we want our picture take (with her)...in the end she was the "owner". We went to Anzac Square and saw some beautiful bridges and churches there. Pictures posted with others in link above.
On the last day we did our laundry which was loads of fun...get it? I know I am on a roll. We ended up taking a bus and a train back to Sydney and yeah that was pretty HORRIBLE. I hate being trapped with humans, especially crazy ones! And I dont just mean Andrea...
Now we are back in Sydney. We went to the Chinese Gardens today which are in Darling Harbour, they are nice. Tomorrow we leave for home. Thank you for everyone who supported this dream of mine and kept me company along the way. I know emailing me was a major commitment and I appreciate those people who took the time. I have had a life changing experience and I hold Australia forever in my heart.
In the words of Porky Pig..
"That's all folks"
