a week in brisbane...

brisbane has been soooo good to me!! in 6 days i met and stayed with lots of great people and its a great way to end my time in australia.. i cant believe how many wonderful friendships i made here.. ive only been in australia for a month but it feels like a year, with each day bringing new and wonderful things.. i spent the first couple of nights with jenni, who has ridden her bike to cairns (far away) as well as some extensive travel in borneo, a place that i am slowly growing an obsession with.. then i stayed with fiona whom i met through tony (see previous posts).. fiona is such a beautiful person with lots of great energy, felt so welcome in her home and enjoyed helping her fix up old bikes, she also owns the coolest vdub ever.. on my 3rd and 6th night here i stayed with claire and dave.. they both are serious cycle tourists with extensive resumes including south america, europe and dave did a 'london to australia' bike ride! i really enjoyed hearing stories and seeing photos from their travels.. the eve of my flight to indonesia was my birthday and i made some fresh pasta and bought some wine.. a really wonderful night and end to my time in aus...
