Day 197 - Getting close to 200 days


Hi all, I hope you're all happy. So, it'll be a Collingwood vs St Kilda Grand Final. Hopefully Collingwood will keep going 1 more week.
As for today, I spent another day wondering around Brisbane. The first thing I did though was take my car down for a good clean. I booked it in to one of those car cleaning specialist places, and after 45 minutes, I no longer has any bat poo, or locust plague stains that have been on the car for up to 6 months. It's like I've got a new car again! Yippee.
From there I spent the next 2 hours walking along the Brisbane River, which included going through the botanical gardens, and mangroves. By that time I was pretty hungry, so headed up to Chinatown, and popped in to a Yum Cha restaurant. Mmmmm, Faye, I even thought of you. BBQ Pork Buns.
As my legs were starting to get a little tired, I jumped on the local river ferry, and took that down to the casino. Now, this is one place where Brisbane has it over Melbourne. There ferries travel all over town, and run ever 10 minutes. Fantastic.
The casino was little strange to me. It was set up in an old building, and consisted of lots of small rooms with thousands of pokie machines. It wasn't till I went to the first floor that I found their main casino room. Oh, and still no craps table. But they did have a $2.50 roulette table, so spent a few dollars there.
Lastly, I headed down to southbank again, this time to see a movie. If you want to go see a movie that's really funny, and not too deep, go see Despicable Me. Absolutely hillarious.
OK, well it's looking less likely that I'll be getting to the Grand Final, so tomorrow, I head down to the Gold Coast. Watch out kids and parents alike. I'm off to the water slides!!!
