The city skyline is incredible, the colours and the way the skyscrapers are illuminated has to be seen to be believed. There are loads of people everywhere, the noise is deafening and the pace is fast. There are so many cafés, kiosks, restaurants and bars it would be impossible to count but despite the amount there are queues of people waiting at the doors to be seated. Our hotel is near to a popular tourist area called Clarkes Quay which is evidently renowned for its diverse range of restaurants. Which one do we choose, I wanted 'local' but with so much choice I wasn't sure what local was!
We played the tourist game yesterday and caught the open top bus for a tour of the city. There was a running commentary which was very informative and what became very apparent was the money that has been invested in the 'real estate', I'm talking telephone number of billions US$. We saw bungalows which were nice but not amazing and as close to each other as our 2 houses, which had values of 6 million US$.
Now it's back to reality - economy seats on our flight to Brisbane, dreamin how the other half live!
PS. forgot to mention how hot it was, temps of 33 degrees and very humid, good job there was a nice pool to cool off in.
