It was quite weird landing in Brisbane, didn't really feel like I had travelled half way round the world but more just went to a local holiday destination, guess that is the familiarity of it all and how long I spent here last time.
I did manage to spend 25mims checking into a hostel, happily chatting away to the people on the desk who were very sorry that they couldn't find my booking. That is until I realised I wasn't in the right hostel.... turns out mine was next door!! Ooops..... Felt like a bit of a numpty. :-)
Ah hostels, they bring back memories.....I booked into the YHA as from experience they are always clean, safe and reliable. The YHA on Roma street had lovely staff and was good, but was a little out the way (15mins walk to city centre). In normal situations a 15mins walk is no problem, but when you have a 22kg backpack it quickly starts to grate......
As for the memories, hostels are great for meeting people, having a laugh and cheap, but man I had forgotten how many people snore!!!!! There have been viscous rumours that I snore or 'breath deeply' from a few people, but wholly crap of the three other people in my dorm, two people snored so loudly the bed bunk vibrated!!!!! Thank god I bought ear plugs and had ear phones.....
