Eastern Australia Trip. Day 10 : Brisbane

Time was apparently envious of us. We spent the evening of our second day in Brisbane visiting many interesting places in the vicinity. My wife attended the ICCAE event at the Rydges Fortitude Valley after breakfast until late afternoon. Nu'man and I contended to walk around the neighborhood. There was an old museum 100 meters away from our apartment; we were about to go sightseeing. However, I only realized later that it had once been a museum and was now home to the Queensland Youth Orchestras. The old building was lovely, though.

Approaching the afternoon, I cooked for lunch. Nu'man had almost drowned that day in the swimming pool. He has gotten acquainted with the resident's kids while I watched the Winter Olympic Games held in Pyeongchang, South Korea. I got my chances to start blogging, even though I know it would take months to complete the 12-day visit to eastern Australia.

We then drove towards Holman Street and reached the end of Kangaroo Point. It connected to the CBD through the Story Bridge. For those who dare to test out your adrenaline level, you can try the Bridge Climbing; the sunset view is recommended. We stopped at the Cliff Park

My wife insisted we have Malaysian dishes for dinner. After searching on the net, we found a Tandoor House, not far from the Kangaroo Point. It has a favorable rating, so we headed to Camp Hill, 7 km from the Cliff Park. We were greeted by the owner of the Penangites restaurant as we hoped in. We noticed that most of the tables were reserved, but there were no customers in the restaurant. We decided to sit outside and ordered the naan bread with tandoori chicken. It tastes...? Wonderful!

When we were finishing our meal, the restaurant already full house
