Day 10 - Brisbane

every since the gusty start the weather has been great down here.

Day 10 - Brisbane I wake up early. Hungover. It's hot and I have one of those cold sweets going. Uhhh. Figure out best way to get to brisbane is via train. Can't get any sleep cuz i'm too woried i'll miss my stop and end up in the outback somewhere. Roll out of the train and hit up a park by the station. The theme of this trip has been go to a new town w/ no accomadations planned but figure it out when i get there. read my travel book. hope on the internet. find a place called Bunk which seems cool enough, pool, bar, club and in the party district of brisbane know as fortitude valley or the "valley" for short. spend a good amount of time blogging. pretty damn time consuming and may need to trim the posts. have in mind that i'm going to stay two night even though brisbane doesnt have much to see i figure it would give me a chance to rest and do some arrons (get camera fixed, outlet adapter, postcards, book frasier island/whitsundays, etc.). Hmm I don't even remember eating dinner that night. Maybe i didn't? Maybe that expains my light wait behaviour later that night. I'm beat and decide to take a late nap. I thought twice about it considering it was very possible i sleep through the nap and not go out that night. I did it anyways cuz i was exhausted and basically worthless. Some how i wake up. But not in a social mood at all. Some how manage to push myself out of bed and grab abeer for $7 at the bar. expensive. quickly learn i could of got a jug (~3.5 beers) for $10. game on. introduced myself to a dude at the bar. he's from england, chris. meeting a lot of kids from england and they are all really friendly. he is there w/ a mate. they turn me on to "snakebite" a mixture of beer, cider, and black current (or rasberry flavor) they have an interesting story. chris pulled is friend w/ him on this trip but has apparently fallin in love w/ a girl that he had only know for 3 weeks back in england. so every night he is drunk texting/calling her and not wanted to go out. sucks for his friend who like most travellers whats do go out and chase tale. before you know chris is hammered and excuses himself. we agree it's just a front to talk to his girl. mushy. oh yeah i grabbed a kebab w/ his friend (can't remember his name now). btw kebabs are the best drunk food in australia always at least one spot open late night. i alway see a bunch no my travels but not that many back in the states for some reason. friend retires soon after. i'm alone at the club which is attached to the hostel. good beats no people. keep in mind it's monday in brisbane and even though its a huge city it's kinda sleepy. i decided to explore but have to change out of shorts and flip flops first. bouncer points me to this one club. i get there and place is pretty amazing. i quickly meet a very talkative dude who is very excited that i'm from the states. i think there was some discussion about san jose. fuck though another place with a shit lot of dudes. what is going on australia. at this point it gets kinda hazy. but i recall more the next morning...
