Brisbane 2016 Day 1 & 2 : South Brisbane -> Sunshine Coast -> Edmundi Market -> Noosa Beach

Day 1 :

Blue nails, blue bag, blue shoes and blue luggage but definitely no Monday blue for me because finally it's holiday again! Going to Australia, Brisbane this time round. I can't remember when is the last time I went there! It's been ages! 

Self check in and that was a very user friendly machine! Done in less then 5 mins!

While waiting for the rest, welfie first! 

 We went to the arrival hall to get our SIM card from the Changi Recommend. If you always follow my blog, you should know I often use their service and recommend everyone to do so too.

The SIM card from Australia is $25 for 10 days and unlimited data. We decided to share among the three of us! This is how we travel in a cheaper ( budget ) way. 

Excited baby running about in the airport! 

 

Bye Singapore!

Welfie with the youngest member of this trip before he is goes to sleep.

Yup! Another kid along for this trip! 3 kids in total! I guess it will be exciting and busy catching kids trip!

In flight supper time and good night! Zzzzzzzzzz

Woke up and it's time for our inflight breakfast! Which means we will be reaching soon.

Arrived and waiting for the rest to come out of the immigration because they brought food for baby so they have to declare. Since I have nothing to declare so I am the first to exit.

My favorite corner of all airport! Grab a few maps and guides here.

Collecting our car at the counters which is just beside the gate.

We book our car online from this Budget company before we reach Brisbane. 

So, while the man are doing the collection of cars, the ladies and kids got nothing to do but to take welfie! 

Car are already ready by the time we arrived so all we need to do next is to go to the car park to collect our car. 

Our car for the next 8 days! 

Off we go!

Us waiting for food! Super hungry!

We ordered crispy chicken rib but was super duper salty and it comes with soya sauce to dip(?!)! 

Bun cha,

Pho Ga which is not bad. We felt that the food here is more like Vietnamese food.

After lunch, went back to the apartment to check in the other room and rest.

 Not sure if the steak and lamb is good because I don't take beef nor lamb but I have to say the pork ribs is seriously super yummy!

They actually use pink hat ( those above ) to use as decoration!

After a wonderful dinner, walk to the South Bank Parklands for a stroll before heading back.

We decided to head to the Coles super market near our apartment to grab some drinks and snacks for the adults party ( of course that's if the kids can be cooperate and sleep on time )!
