The next day we decided to drive to the Australian Zoo to see the animals, we had already seen in wild nature, in pens or enclosures. 🙂 Just check the photos
hope you enjoy them guys ![]()
After breakfast we decided to visit the man-made beach. We took some beautiful photos there, went for a swim and sunbathed in the lovely sun.
At 11 pm we picked up Johannes (a German guy from Karlsruhe) to share with him the petrol costs and to visit Fraser Island together. 🙂 We arrived at the Golden Beach in Caloundra and wanted to snorkel, but we didn’t, because we got a warning from citizens because of sharks. So we drove to the next barbecue ( they are all along the coast for free ) 😉 and enjoyed a wonderful dinner. 🙂 Then we went on to look for a sleeping place.
The next day we said goodbye to Leo and Tom and returned to our car in Cleveland.
Then we drove to the Queensland transport shop to transfer the name of the carholder to our names. 🙂 Then we sent some requests for couchsurfing-places and were successful. An older man answered that he wanted to meet us at 7 pm in front of the City Hall in Brisbane. He wrote, that he would like to show us around, invite us for food and drinks, and even pay the parking fee for us. We couldn’t believe it and thought he wanted to make fun of us or something like this. :/ In the end we decided to go and meet him. After 5 minutes waiting, he arrived in front of the City Hall. 🙂 He asked, what we wanted to eat and I said „steak“ or „seafood“. 🙂 So he took us to a restaurant near the Brisbane River (with the best view over the river and the Brisbane Bridge). We enjoyed such a tasty dinner. I had garlic prawns with French fries, white wine, vegetables served on rice. The restaurant was so expensive and exclusive there weren’t even prices in the menu. 🙂
Then he gave us the money for the parking fee and for some nights in a hostel, said that it was nice, having met us and took a cab. 🙂 We were so lucky and stuffed, it was a dream. 🙂 An unknown person just invited us to a wonderful dinner and paid everything for us. This night we spent about 10 kilometres away from Brisbane in a suburb in the front-seats of our car. 🙂
