Brisbane to Sydney take one

Back to Brisbane for a day, repack, and back to the train, another 16hr trip back to Sydney. Actually, when we book our tickets, the women we speak to tells us the wrong time for the train. She does not account for daylight savings time, seriously?, and we miss our train. We think we are an hour early, but in fact we are five minutes late. We are mad. We rebook for the next day and Ian picks us up from the train station. (the photo is taken at this time, I have a mouth full of peanut butter- alison made us sandwiches for the train) We try again the next day and are really an hour early this time. There is a crying baby sitting behind us on the train. We are afraid it will cry the whole time. Thank you iPod, you make our lives better. They exit the train after a while. We actually sleep this time. We are packing lighter and traveling savvyer than before.

Outdoor feast, family & new friends

Lauren Rocks it out in the grilling department. She makes potato & avocado salad, and coconut thai fish, along with prawns and scallops on the grill. I'm not even showing the pictures of all the meat Adam got, kebabs, sausages, and steak. A wonderful day and meal, including above mentioned peach daquiris. A great send off for us. We'll be back there after Easter.

TaDa!!!!

This is a Dragon Fruit, it's really cool looking, and feels rubbery on the outside. The inside's texture feels like a kiwi fruit in your mouth, but has no real flavor, or much to be able to describe anyway. Really interesting for a fruit that looks so distinctive. We decide to add it to peach daquiris we are making for a bbq Lauren & Adam are giving. Good choice. I need to get my eyebrows done - I know.

ALL NEW INFO!!!!!.....

For all of our friends and family in the states...We have figured out how to forward our calls from our computer to our cell phone here. Sooo...if you call us at 646-867-3849, which is a New York number, instead of going to our computer, and leaving a message with a creepy sounding recording (which we've since changed), your call will automatically forward to the cell phone we are using here. It still only uses our minimally priced computer Skype minutes, (isn't Skype AWESOME!) so don't worry. If you want or need to talk to us, no worries mate, we're here.
look forward to hearing your voice.

Day Trip with cousins

We see some nature, and spend the day hiking in the bush. Beautiful. I feel like I'm on vacation.
We're too early in the day for glow worms, but we do see bats, and waterfalls. Good enough for me.
