We had a very enjoyable night listening to the pleasant sounds of an inebriated individual molesting a bongo drum till the wee hours.
Washing day today! Nicole diligently set about washing everything, including the bedding. Personally i would have left that and just done the clothes but that's one of the perks about travelling with a woman. Clean little creatures!
Off to visits yet more of Nicoles friends in Brisbane. This time a family of fellow South Africans who had emigrated to Oz a few years prior.
Diana, Eric and their 2 boys Carl and Cliff live in Brisbane and used to live in Durban. We met them for lunch and headed to Brisbane via the ferry to see the sights and sounds.
Magic city. Very aesthetic and reminded me of London in many ways as you have this large business district on the river.
It was interesting to hear about what could have been the Trompeter's lives had we left SA all those many years ago and moved to Mooloolaba and the Sunshine Coast.
Eric and family had left SA a few years earlier and lived in a great house in a friendly neighbourhood with no fence and where cars are left on the street at night.
After spending the rest of the evening on the porch, sharing stories and sipping wine it was off to the comfort of the blow up mattress. I had by now learnt the fine art of levitating on a bed of air at night.
