Heya cuz!

I recall spending many childhood holidays flying down to Singapore to spend time with my cousins Alex and Erica. Sad to say, they hardly ever came up to Malaysia to visit so I rarely got the chance to reciprocate the hospitality they showed me for years on end. My chance to play host finally came on the weekend when we got to take Erica around Brisbane on the last leg of her stay in Australia.



First stop, Mount Coot-tha. Gave her a nice view of the city and the surrounding mountains. There were a few tour groups milling around the summit when we got there so we didn't stay too long.

Next point was South Bank. It's a shame that the man made beach was under maintenance and looked rather sad at the time. The girls instead had to occupy themselves by browsing the market for craft and clothing.



After a nice Lebanese lunch we introduced Erica to Cold Rock ice-cream. I think she liked it, assuming that rapidly ingested cup of Peppermint ice-cream with chocolate fudge brownie and freckles is anything to go by.

We then grabbed the Citycat down to Riverside and walked through the city back to Southbank. A flying visit past to show Erica our unit, also to instruct her on the proper way to enjoy Vegemite, and we had to send her back to her Aunt's house.

Unfortunate that this trip was so short but we're looking forward to seeing her again the next time she's down under. Oddly enough, Cousin Alex might be the next guest if we can catch up with him when he flies over in November. Hooray!
