First of all - lots of computer problems. Can't access Mozilla Firefox on my notepad and can't use Internet Explorer on it because it doesn't have add-ons whatever they are. Am not willing to tamper too much with Bill's computer as regards photos so it looks like you all will have to put up with boring text only!
We're very comfortable here in Aspley and have found a great shopping centre that has anything we need. We were here only minutes when the police called looking for James somebody - I was a bit taken aback as I was sure I hadn't let Jim out of my sight to get into any mischief. Jim assured them that he wasn't Ned Kelly and they went on their way.
We braved Brisbane by bus yesterday (30 minutes)and got on the hop on hop off bus to get an overview. The drivers were much more considerate of our needs than the tuk tuk driver in Bangkok and hopping on and off was much easier. Brisbane is a beautiful city. We hopped off to have lunch at a riverside cafe and hopped on again to go to Mount Coot-tha where we had a wonderful view of the city and surrounding areas. Then we hopped off again at the Botanic gardens where we met quite a lot of huge lizards. The jacaranda trees are in bloom all over the city - they have beautiful blue/purple blossoms. We then got on the city cat for a boat trip on the river. We could hop on and hop off there too but we stayed put. We'll do some more hopping another day.
YOUR LEGS MUST BE IN GOOD SHAPE WITH ALL HOPPING AND CYCLING YOU'VE BEEN DOING.
