On Saturday we spent the morning at the farmer's market in the park next to our apartment building. We had coffee at the Gypsy Coffee Stand and shared a Hungarian doughnut with jam. The market is always such a fun place to wander around and I love that it's become our Saturday morning ritual.
After we finished our shopping we headed to the Wet'n'Wild waterslide park near the Gold Coast for an early celebration of Sean's birthday. I haven't been to a waterslide park since I was 8 or 10. It was actually a lot of fun, though it did smell a little like wet feet. Surprisingly, it was even a bit of a work out. Many of the slides have inflatable tubes that you have to carry up many, many flights of stairs. Wet'n'Wild even had a beer garden, which was awesome.
On Sunday we got up early to go stand-up paddle boarding with Sean's coworker Tamas. It was really fun to paddle around and the boards were really nice, much nicer than the other boards we have used. Afterwards we headed up to Mt. Coot-tha to check out the view of Brisbane.
We decided to stay an extra week and made reservations for a trip to Bali. Even though Australia is close to Indonesia the flight from Brisbane to Bali is 6 hours. That really hammers it home that Australia is far from everything. Any Bali recommendations from folks that have been?
This weekend we are off to Byron Bay to check out the beaches and go to the Byron Bay Bluesfest. I will post more photos soon. Sean's computer has been on the fritz lately. And I did end up getting new running shoes, but not the really expensive ones. I found some that were a bit easier on the wallet.
