We had breakfast in a little café near the Hotel Ibis and then did about an hours walk around town to see what the place is like.We were quite impressed, this is a nice place to be with new modern offices and apartments and also the shopping areas on
Mid morning we went back to the Hotel and moved to the one bedroom apartment we had rented for three nights in Kangaroo Point, the river bends a lot here, and Kangaroo Point is on a bend in the river opposite the city centre. When we arrived they informed us we had been upgraded for some reason to a three bedroom apartment with great views, see photos.
We needed some food shopping and so walked to the Ferry Pier and travelled back to town where we walked around for some hours and then headed for the main Railway Station to suss it out as we need to go there on Thursday for our train ride to
The Station is quite big and undergoing extensive renovation which it really does need. Brisbane Airport is a Palace by comparison. We are pleased that we did go as there are two entrances, one the main one, and a little one at the back which is where we have to go. They are about 300 yards apart, up and down stairs and escalators and through crowded areas. The entrance we need is the small one where the Taxi can park outside and we are 10 yards from the platform. Well worth the visit.

We headed back and went to Woolworths (Aussi style) and did some food shopping for the next few days.
They don’t sell alcohol in supermarkets and so we were forced to stop by the pub near to our apartment to sample the local ale.
We then had an evening watching TV, catching up with Blogs and generally keeping busy. We may have a quiet day in the apartment tomorrow for a change.
