Bad Carma
Friday, June 3rd, 2005The last few days we just had bad luck on everything we did.
It all started the night before we left Surfers. Roey and Alex did some laundry, only to find out that the dryer didn’t work. In fact, they found out that almost every dryer in Surfers-Paradise doesn’t work, which costed them quite a few dollars to realize. For me this meant that we only left Surfers prety late, after spending some half a day on Surfers-Paradise waiting for their laundry.
Than we arrived at Brisbane, the capital of Queensland. As dull a city as it is big.
They were very anxious about the nightlife in Brisbane (they generally are more after parties than me), and we took a hostel very close to the city center so everything is walking distance. I wanted to do some fixes to the car, but the garage was full (they only accepted us today, after we booked in advance - very different than garages in Israel). At the night we went looking for the crazy Brisbane parties. We went and went, and then we continued looking for the parties. We must have past some 10 different night-clubs in two hours, just to make sure that there is not a single party we miss at Brisbane - in fact, there was no party at all in Brisbane. All the nightlife here is probably just in weekends, which we will find out tonight (we stayed for the car). In the meanwhile we are looking for a small guitar - Roey is playing for some years, and we think it will be really nice to have a guitar in our coming sailing days, and he will give us lessons! In any case, tomorrow we will head north and return to the beaches - the next destination is probably Noosa, and than we will be heading to Fraser Island.
