More pics from our Brisbane trip

4th November 2010

We have got lots more pictures taken during our last trip to Brisbane. Hope you enjoy seeing these photos...

The ones below were taken on Friday, the second day that we rented a car. After breakfast, we went to IKEA in Logan, just outside the city. It's as HUGE as we remember it, and still offers lots of bargains too.

Then, we went to Direct Factory Outlets (DFO) near Brisbane Airport. Yes, we did lots of shopping... it was really worth it to go there.

With a few more hours to spend before returning the car , daddy drove us back to the hotel. After freshening up for about 20 minutes, we headed for St. Lucia. We revisited our old memories... took pictures in front of our used-to-be home, our usual Asian supermarket and Nando's restaurant where we usually enjoy meals when nini bini and mummy were not in the mood for cooking.

We were also amazed at seeing a new apartment building that has been erected; the construction had only just begun when we were about to leave Australia for good back then.

Frankly I was a bit sad about leaving the old place. To cheer me up, our parents brought us to one place where we always felt happy - Guyatt Park. The difference this time, nini laki was not the one pushing us in the stroller... hehehe...

Baby Safwan was enjoying the ambience as well. He didn't mind sitting on the grass at all. We also took the opportunity taking pictures with mummy's favourite jacaranda trees (all because of the purple flowers).

Then, we went back to the city to return the car. Thankfully, business hours in the city is extended every Friday, and we took the opportunity to do some last minute shopping. We then took some photos of Brisbane city and Southbank at night.

These ones were taken on our last day in Brisbane. We enjoyed fresh strawberries for our last breakfast at the hotel. We checked out at around 9 am to catch our 12.50 flight. The flight was not that full and we very lucky that the front row seats had been blocked for passengers with babies. Since there were only two babies on board, there were 2 empty seats next to mummy. Safwan was happy sitting on his own seat during the flight ~ watching tv! Hehehe...! And oh, I snapped a picture with the pilot, lucky me!

We landed safely in Brunei at 5.50 in the afternoon. However, we got off the plane differently that time; we walked down the stairs and boarded a coach to reach the terminal building.

Overall, it was a fun vacation. Where will we go next? Hmmm...
