We were only there for one night. A bit gutting but we had to sacrifice something and the need to surf was strong!

We stayed at Base backpackers, the place was massive. Base has it’s own bar, which again was huge and about 1000 rooms (maybe a little exaggerated). We stayed in a confusing but lovely girls dorm and we met two great Swedish girls.

We hadn’t as yet celebrated Kate’s birthday so we decided that given the fact that we didn’t have anytime to do anything in the day, we chose Brisbane as her birthday party town. We ended up just going to the hostel bar/club as it was cheap and ladies night. One of the Swedish girls came with us; she turned out to be a bit of a minx.

So there really isn’t much to say about Brisbane because we saw more of the bar than the city. However a nice little story, it was ladies night at the club and they had a stripper on (which apparently they do every week). He was a bit rough looking and obviously loved his job. Our new Swedish friend was beside herself with excitement because she had never seen a stripper before (Kate and I were not as excited as nothing will beat Tracy’s 21st stripper…yucky). She went all the way to the front of the stage and was there the whole performance. Anyway long story short she ended up getting with the crater faced stripper (who was lovely, even felt his pecs). It was very entertaining to see.

Anyway ‘nough about Brisbane. It was a shame we didn’t get to see more.

Peace out

Bex and Kate
