Night out in Brisbane

That night was our only non-concert night, so we had planned a big night in Brisbane! I had bought a pack of playing-card-sized cards - each one contained information about a bar in Brisbane. I had selected about 10 for an area where we were going to eat so we could have a pub crawl from the restaurant. The restaurant we chose based on a leaflet about Brisbane restaurants, it was such a tough choice but we decided on one eventually and booked a table. It turned out to be a sensational dining experience, quite expensive but definitely worth the money. I then got my pack of handbag-sized cards out and we headed to our first bar – which looked like it had been transformed into a shop, ah! We had more luck with the next ones, and as we followed the route we ended up in some fantastic bars; trendy bars, a bar with a live band playing, a café-bar looking onto the main street, a huge converted post-office and a jazz bar with live jazz!! We would never have found many of the ones we visited so it was great having the inside information! It was a fantastic night, but sadly we couldn’t party too early in the morning as we had a date with an aussie bloke called Steve Irwin at his zoo the next day…
