Parks, Gardens & Beaches

Parks, Gardens & Beaches

The past few days for holiday Baobei & I went to many natural places such as...

On the 08 Jul, we visited the QLD Museum & Sciencentre, haha we felt like kids in there, all the kids there during the holidays and playing with all those meant to teach them things regarding their body, actions, environment etc then upper level was ther animals where majority of the displays were stuffed animals and then there were also history about the people from the past and tats about it.. not exactly boring but it was not what I've expected though. 

On the 09 Jul, we drove to the Mt Coot-tha Botanic Garden, it was a big garden just at the foot of Mt Coot-tha and it was huge but nothing much to see, it was early not many people walking around we went in and the flowers were beautiful but think because it was still winter some of the flowers are actually dying or dead... Baobei was taking photos of flowers most of the time.. I was not really into flowers as each indivdual but still it was nice overall... then there were ducks and birds everywhere hehe while I was having a simple tea with my baobei and she was feeding me something the bird tried to take it from her hand... omg... haha there there was this glassdome where inside there were these tropical plants and it was warm in there compared to outside... finally we ended the trip with a visit to the planetarium where we looked at some pictures of stars etc and left..

I took out my GPS and searched for beaches instead, but in the end we did not managed to get to any of them, should have brought out the map and looked for the exact address instead hai wasted... most of the beaches I keyed into the GPS was "Your destination is unreachable by land" charted off the land... into the sea =S well will try one more day going to the nice and clear beaches soon...

On the 10 Jul, we woke up quite late and went to the QLD Maritime Museum at Southbank. By the time we reach there we did not have too much time to walk around so it was rather rush, I went onboard the old ship and took a quick tour around it. It was not very exciting but still it was something new, as it was decommissioned there was nothing much inside but still there were the simple things where I managed to explained abit to Baobei. We took some interesting pictures like sitting on the guns and act like we were using them hehe... and I took many pictures inside the ship herself. I did not like history so in the main building it was like just walking around, I was just looking for some interesting artifacts to look at like the ship models etc and I spent money buying the tea-towels with the flags and knots on them. Baobei ask me why I like to buy tea-towels, and I told her its not I like but the design I like only comes in tea-towel hehe... Then we went to watch a movie "Meet Dave" it was hilarious haha everyone laughed out loud inside the cinema. I did not drive so we took the Citycat home. The winds were chilling and made my hands numb just by standing outside. I was imagining what would it feel like if MCV going at 20knots with this kind of winds... OMG!

Today, 11 Jul, we also woke up late as we did not plan to go to many places, only aim to go to the CBD Botanic Garden. While we were there, we alighted at the furtherest Citycat terminal we have ever went haha just another stop after Southbank actually but still hehe... We wanted to try to take from one end to the other but just did not have the time to do it yet, but it will come one day. The botanic garden was terrible with nothing much to see, it was more like a park instead and Baobei wanted to take photos of lilies but there was non standing in the lilly-garden. We had coffee there as well just to keep us warm and Baobei tried Latte instead of her usual Mocha =) I drink Long Black.. it was terrible... =S then I ate a hotdog and feed the remaining bread to the crow and pigeons hehe there were cute.. at least I did not waste my food.. then in the end we walked around and cross the bridge and ended up at southbank again and we went for a caricature drawing of both of us.. it was ok but Baobei said she look funny in the drawing hehe.. we watched another movie "Ma Ma Mia!" it was different from other movie, not say very nice but nice can watch =)... and one matter, we had dinner and it was terrible.. we ordered a seafood platter for two and a prawn sagawaki or something but the fish from the platter was hell fishy I could not even put it in my mouth for one sec and Baobei got to eat everything... so poor thing... she ate almost everything on that platter, the 4X oysters, the 3X cold prawn, the 2/3 of calamari, and 3X fish fillets =S I only ate the few prawns from the sagawaki and some calamari... the fish was enough to make me full... 

Oh well I wrote too much hehe but it was for the past few days so I guess I'll just end here haha =D oh yes Gary entered NS le will pray for him ahah Commando...
