Hi,
Well after alot of thought and planning we are finally in Australia. Yeahhhhh! We arrived in Brisbane at 6:00am yesterday morning(wednesday 20th)very tired from the overnight plane ride in which sleep never happened. We caught a cab to the hostel Brisbane City Backpackers. We have rented a privete room with a double bed for 60 dollars per night. It is about 20 dollars per night more expensive to get a private room but neither of us is adventurous enough or feels like a bunk in a room of 8 other messy travellers! It has a kitchen and showers so we are able to cook for ourselves again, which suprisingly enough is a real nice change from eating at restaurants all the time. It is clean and in a good location so it is a good place to start for our first time in a Hostel.
We opened a bank account yesterday at the australian commonwealth bank, but we dont get our cards till a week friday. We bought Glenn a cell phone in Singapore so we both have phones now and are going to get sim cards for them today. We have found that it will be cheapest for us to just use our phones locally and use calling cards to call home, since they are cheaper.
We are booked in the hostel till Sunday and then i think we are going to head north to Cairns. We have friend from highschool Karla Wilkinson that is going to be there so we thought it would be really nice to see her. Well we are safe and sound in Brisbane, we love you all and miss you and will keep you updated as our journey continues.
Love Jen and Glenn
