Also it is apparently Christmas in Brisbane. I do not understand this.
James has goals. Lofty ones.
There were more displays like this all around Queen Street Mall that were all kinds of Christmassy things. Keep in mind that it is about 35 and hot. And sunny. And the opposite of Christmas.
It is Hanukkah too.
My goal for the day - for months, really - was to acquire a lamington. A lamington is two pieces of white cake with jam or custard in the middle (Team Jam), covered lightly in chocolate and then rolled in coconut. I could start a lamington business in Canada and be a millionaire.
I got back to my hotel and the lovely staff had set out a bottle of sparkling wine, a card and some chocolates for me. Totally unexpected and wonderful!
Because of the heat and sun and the fact I'm a pasty ass strawberry blonde, my sunburn turned in to a blistering, peeling sunburn. I've never had a sunburn blister before, so that's something.
Next: Bonus day in Brisbane! (Also known as, Jaée Can't Read Departure Dates Day.)
