Our stay in Brisbane is soon coming to an end. It has been an interesting experience being here for us that looks at Oslo as a big city. I think Brisbane is nice, easy to get around, both walking and with public transportation, and it's easy to get the overview where things are. There's nice parks here as well, Roma Street Parkland was our definite favorite, with all the beautiful flowers and the numerous and curious iguanas. It still feels a little bit like a ordinary vacation, but now when we are moving out of the hostel into a car I guess I will feel that the new lifestyle begins. Looking forward to getting to the beaches and smaller places, 1,7 million people in Brisbane made it a bit too crowded for me after a while. We have really enjoyed our stay here at Kookaburra Inn. The location is nice and central, and the staff have been so friendly and helpful.
A new lesson learned today; we didn't think ahead when we were going to buy a car so we thought we could withdraw the money from the ATMs, but with our visa cards we apparently have a limit on 1000 Australian dollars withdrawal per day, so we're short because we`re getting the car tomorrow. So we have to withdraw the rest from the teller at the bank, and they informed us that it would cost us 150-200 dollars extra. So we are really in the start of our learning to travel, hehe. So the next project is to get Australian bank accounts. Maybe there is a "Travelling for dummies book" on the market..?
