Brisbane: First impressions
I wasn't overly thrilled when I arrived in town, partly 'cuz downtown Brisbane is crowded & unremarkable ... but it may also be partly due to my departing cool cloudy New Zealand in flannel shirt & jeans, then arriving in the hot humid city, *then* dragging my backpack & luggage all over the city 'cuz I couldn't find the hostel.
I did, however, change my tune that night after a nap, and when things cooled off I crossed one of the many pedestrian footbridges across the Brisbane River. The "Parklands" (south bank) is a gorgeous area packed with world-class museums, theaters, foresty walks, a well-done artificial lagoon (I bought a swimsuit yesterday, maybe I'll do down there) ... oh, and a huge ferris wheel - the Wheel of Brisbane.
For now the plan is: Figure out what's next.
