When Tuesday rolled around it was sad to leave the Whitsunday Islands. Daydream Island was one of the best places I'd ever been. Namely because of the great company I had.
When we got into Brisbane that afternoon we unloaded and started to unwind. We had dinner at one of my favorite restaurants: The Gunshop Cafe. Adam really liked it. The food was delicious and we worked on our MAPS (a special list of things we want to do together: Movies Activities & Places to See). = )
After dinner we chilled at the house, then went with a huge group of flat mates to see Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull. We enjoyed the flick. It was decent as a fourth movie tacked on to the original trilogy, but it wasn't anything compared to the first or third movies. The alien business was a little far-fetched, too, but I can go with it for the sake of enjoying the movie.
Wednesday I had class all day. The day started out with a really fun and interesting excursion around Brisbane (Adam really liked getting to see the city this way) for my Australia Culture & Society class. Afterwards we had salads at The Coffee Club (I wasn't too impressed, but it was okay), then we went to my Core Project Management class. Nothing too exciting there, and I couldn't get the Internet to work (password reset issues, haha), so we went to the library. I reset my password, did some stuff I had to do for my Creative Writing short story. He was craving some Boost, so he grabbed that for us, and we met up in time for a few games of pool at the Guild Bar before I had to go to my last German lecture. It let out an hour early, so I met up with Adam, we played another game or two of pool (I started to get the hang of it), then headed back to the flat.
For dinner we split a dish at Wings on West End (Vietnamese). We also caught part of the State of Origin game on the TV they had up. The food was great, plus it had lots of cilantro! Mmm!
Thursday Adam joined me while I had a meeting for CPM class. It was pretty brief, so that was nice. Then I skipped my Creative Writing lecture and tutorial so we could visit the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. Adam loved it! It was a lot of fun to see the farm animals (cows tongues are scratchy like that of a cats, by the way), all of the hundreds of koalas, the koala show (they're such interesting animals), and the kangaroos! Adam couldn't get enough of them, haha! I think one of the highlights of the visit was catching the sheep-dog show. Those Australian Sheep Dogs are so fascinating! Adam has said he'd like to have one someday since they're the best dogs to play Frisbee with. = )
That night we had a Jagger shot and headed to the Dunda Bar. I couldn't let Adam come to Brisbane and now have him experience the place! We danced, and danced, and danced! It was a ton of fun! We met up with the flat mates and hung out, but left shortly after that. It was a great night out!
