After Noosa we weren't quite sure if Brisbane would be able to top it, and after hearing that Brisbane is quite artificial and you either love it or you hate it we weren't too sure if we'd even enjoy it! When we got to Brisbane we literally hiked up a huge hill to get to our hostel with our backpacks and I swear I could've started crying- I can't handle carrying the weight of my backpack more than 2 seconds. We literally checked in and left straight away for the city centre which was about a 10 minute walk. We got there and it was so similar to London! There's all the same shops as home and the atmosphere was the same. After a little shop around we went to Southbank- literally the same as London Southbank as well, we strolled round for a few hours and sat by the river. We headed back to the hostel as the sun was starting to set to grab brads camera and change into jeans as we thought it would get colder (a decision we later regretted because it was still boiling). We headed back to Southbank and took some pictures- Brad finally figured out how to do long exposures so we got some amazing pictures! We had dinner and then later went for drinks by the river.
Our second day we had an amazing breakfast from the cafe in the hostel where smoothies were the equivalent of £1.50! After we went to explore more of the city, heading to James Street but it was quite expensive boutiques so we decided to just head back to Southbank for some nachos. Brad had been wanting to go to the cinema for ages because the wifi is so bad everywhere we go and you can barely load anything :( So we did just that and in the evening we saw the Jungle Book, which was actually amazing! The cinema was so cheap as well (£3 each) so we thought we may as well take advantage of it. We came out and took some more pictures of the river and all the buildings which look incredible in the dark.
