Just Arrived

Well we've now been up for 36 hours without sleep - zombies!!! Flight from Beijing was delayed 1.5 hours so missed connecting flight from Sydney to Brisbane but all was good as we got re-booked onto one and only had to wait 3 hours. Just had a nice pizza and wine/(beer for Iain) for $10 - yum, yum! Found this little cafe with a few computers and great hot chocolate so blogging away just now!!

Checked into our hostel - private ensuite room with tv, fridge - there for 5 nights but looking for apartments coz hostelling long-term is definately not 4 us!! A bit of a change from the Sheraton !!

Tomorrow is looking for a job, apartment, buying mobile, applying for tax file number and hopefully finding a cafe where we can upload our beijing photos!!

The hostel is really close to Brisbane river which is lovely and the shops etc which is handy!!

I've already found a runner club and 1st 10km race is on Sunday but it starts at 6:30am and u have to register at 5:30am - mad, mad, mad!! Think we're going to try and do it though if we're not wrecked!!

P.S it is absolutely freezing here and i only have 1 pair of jeans and not a single tshirt or cardi, just one hoodie - going to have to buy some cheap jeans and jumpers!!! We're hoping that it's maybe hotter during the day!!!

Oh and on our last night in Beijing we have been eaten alive by midgies - mainly me and i even got off the plane today with 3 more bites - a huge 1 on my knee - very score!!! Legs looked very unattractive - lucky they'll be covered up in this weather!
