We started the day on the Wheel of Brisbane. I am very afraid of heights and I get motion sickness, so the five whirls around on the ferris wheel was a slice of hell for me. The kids and Candace enjoyed it.
Brisbane has a fake beach situated in between a pool and a splash pad. We had fun but I could feel the sun beating down on my sunscreen slathered shoulders. I tried to hide in the shade, but it didn’t always work. The kids had fun and seemed not to get burned.
We went to Momo’s in South Bank for lunch. The kitchen screwed up our order and the waiter came out and asked if it was ok if we just took the screwed up order. What could we say? They had put the wrong sauce on half the fried chicken order. We were made to feel like karens if we complained, so we just accepted it. The soy garlic, which we didn’t order wasn’t good. The kids had mozzarella sticks covered in some sweet powder. They thought it was too sweet and didn’t eat much.
An Australian white ibis jumped on our table and stole a chicken bone. It went back to the ground and expertly nipped the meat off the bone, which is borderline cannibalistic. We realized Tal had lost her shoe, so I went hunting for it. I found it quite far away sitting on a bench.
Tal had been up since 2:30 in the morning and Abie didn’t get much sleep so they both were grumpy. We went to the splash pad before heading back to the hotel where we all fell asleep at 4:30 in the afternoon. We woke up at 8 and the kids fell asleep a couple hours later.
South Bank is a little touristy, but the fact that the water stuff is all free is pretty amazing. There’s a flower covered path which is very pretty. It’s supposed to rain in the morning and the kids will probably wake up early.
