Wednesday 9th April - Day 66
The South Bank
12.04.2008
Today I walked around Brisbane again. This time I crossed over a bridge to the other side of the river. There's an open air swimming pool and people use this free facility. The water is clean and lukewarm. There's a gentle air of well being around here. Unfit looking people stand out because there don't seem to be many of them. There's a fitness class running outdoors on the grass. Ironically, half of the people in the class look unfit, which is in stark contrast t everyone else walking around. There are plenty of joggers and cyclists that go by. There don't seem to be pesky flies or mosquitoes to worry about here either.
Also on the south bank there is a theatre and quite a few cafe's too. For some reason it's a place where there are Punjabi people from India. In most of the Seven-Eleven stores I've been to the guy serving me has been Punjabi.
I'm caught a little bit by surprise that goods in the shops are about the same if not slightly more expensive than back in England. Other than that, I can't fault Brisbane.
