In the morning, Candace went to her conference. I was stuck on the toilet and the toilet paper ran out. I asked the kids if they would go down to reception and get some more. They were a bit hesitant but we so proud when they came back with the toilet paper. Abie said the receptionist asked, “Where’s mommy?” He said “In the room.” He told me it might be a problem if he said at work. I thought that was clever.
We walked a long way to the botanical gardens. First we got slurpees and sat by Queen Victoria’s statue. Then we found Brisbane Synagogue. Apparently it was appointment only. It wasn’t emotionally easy to explain why there was so much security around the synagogue.
Interestingly, some states here have recently banned swastikas and are in the process of banning the Nazi salute.
We made it the the gardens, but we were tired. The vegetation was striking and we saw plenty of lizards. We found a shady bench and sat there until we had to go to the bathroom. Then we found another shady spot and relaxed until we got hungry.
We were going to take the ferry to Kangaroo Point, but the kids became too hungry. We walked back to Queen Street and had cheesesteaks.
We decided to go back to the hotel, but had a long sidetrack searching for a bathroom in the mall. Then we rested in the hotel. My feet were hurting.
We then went out and took the ferry. I didn’t realize what the stops were and we missed our chance to get off. So we were on for over an hour. We got groceries and went back to the hotel for the night.
