Day 33-34

On Saturday, I went swimming at the beach in Southbank, the artificial one. The water was colder than the ocean so I didn’t stay in long. Fantastic weather though, blue skies with 70s! This is my first winter where I’m not pale as a ghost but actually getting tan lines.

Sunday, Beate and I went on a bike ride along the river. The Brisbane River is salty and has low/high tides since it comes directly from the ocean. We biked all the way to the last CityCat ferry stop, through New Farm Park, and then rode the ferry back. Again it was fantastic weather! We crossed over the Story Bridge in the city, and stopped at Eagle Street pier to take a walk among the expensive restaurants and markets there. It wasn’t that far to bike and flat, right along the river.
