Hello, everyone! Here is a quick update! I'm sorry it's not much, and I know there aren't any photos, but bear with me and in a couple weeks there will be gobs of them. So, without further ado, let me tell you about Byron Bay:
Adam made it safely to the world down under, and I am so happy!!! He was one of the last to come out of the quarantine section of the international airport, so whenever I saw a tall person with lots of luggage on their trolley through the translucent wall, I thought it was him - and I got so fidgety waiting, haha. Any way, I picked him up from the airport last Friday, and, after a warm welcome, we went back to my apartment briefly: dropped off luggage (well, half of it, hehe - the suitcase with all of his clothes was stuck an extra day in LA - but the suitcase full of snacks and candies for me made it, haha! - but of course!). I introduced Adam and a few of the flat mates who were milling around, then the two of us grabbed some kebabs at my favorite kebab diner.
A bit later we bussed down to Byron Bay, checked into our bed & breakfast and relaxed. The Cavvanbah Beach House was perfect! It was a short trail away from the ocean and town, and it was so beachy and quaint! Saturday and Sunday we took it easy, dined at some really good places, and enjoyed a nice, laid back weekend together. Inga recommended Earth & Sea, a famous and delicious specialty pizza place. We had some tasty food there, and then had some good dessert at a place called Balcony.
Monday we got back to Brisbane. Both Mediterranean places I wanted to take him to for a late lunch were closed (sadness), so we had some pizza from a place on the South Bank food court strip. It hit the spot.
Yesterday I showed Adam around Brisbane. We strolled through the Queen Street Mall where I bought him a really cool French Connection shirt, we went through the Botanical Gardens where we took lots of photos, played some Frisbee, and enjoyed South Bank.
Today Adam's joined me for some of my classes; they're really different here, so I think he's found them interesting. We had some amazing burgers with eggs (different but tasty) at a coffee/diner place. Right now we've got some down time since one of my 2-hour lectures was canceled.
Tomorrow we leave for the Whitsunday Islands - and neither of us can wait! !!!!!
That's all for now! I love and miss you all!
-Amanda & Adam
