Well as you can see - i did not give this photo it's title........!!!
It's been a mega warm weekend - 30 degrees and we have chilled. On Friday we went to see Rush Hour 3 at the cinema which was pretty funny and yesterday we made the dreaded trip to Qantas airlines to change our flights( when we booked our around the world trip we had to have dummy dates for the last part of our trip as the flight schedules weren't available yet) and on our terms and condistions it said it would be $25 + 50 pounds for each flight to change - totally scam when you've already paid thousands!!
But hey we went in and 1st of all we couldn't get any flights from Fiji to LA for me as i am on a student fare and no seats were left - so we had to change even more flights to get them matching up! Also, i was going to be stranded in San Fransisco as there were no flights out when we wanted - we wanted the 7th May so we could be back for Jack's 5th bday but they had the 14th for me - but the lady found 1 student seat on the 6th May so hey, hey we make it back in time!!
We are now spending 6 weeks in New Zealand instead of 4 and 3 & 1/2 weeks in USA instead of 5 - so works out pretty well....and....the best thing of all the lady at Qantas only charged us a service fee of $25 per person to change all the flights - a total of $50!!!! Very. happy as that has saved some pennies!
Th rest of Staurday we sunbathed at Southbank and today we did our final 10km race with the Brisbane Running club and it was a handicap where you start at how fast you are so slow people and then fast, mine was 22:30 and Iain's was 29:00 so we had to wait until that time after the 1st person set off. Iain had his new running gear on so he was determined to be jack flash and run like a pro- he did v.well coming in at 44:03 but he didn't manage to catch me up on the handicap!! and i came in at a more respectable time of 49:56 (compared to the last few weeks!!)
We definately did some exercise today as we had to cycle a total of 10km to get to therace and back and then went to the Valley markets shooping and back at a nother 10km or so - little legs are nackered!
The rest of today we sunbathed and had a picnic - oh and we forget to mention earlier that they have this amazing ice cream shop over here called "Cold Rock" where they have every flavour of ice cream/sorbet/yoghurt and u choose a mixer from bounty, mars, gummi bears, skittles etc and they mash it into ur ice-cream on this frozen worktop like they're making bread a viola u have ur own combination - they mix other flavours in too and u can add nuts and fresh fruit to the mash - very good indeed!!
Well, this weekend we are going to Moreton Bay - Tangalooma Dolphin Resort for Iain's b'day and with his b'day prez from his m&d, bro & sis he thinks he fancy's Quad Biking on the sand dunes so that should be good fun - we'll tell u all about it when we get back!
Well were off as Iain has said he's getting hot and sticky from the heat and needs his 3rd shower of the day!!
Bye
