Brisbane Days 6–8 – Putting the Brakes On (Sort Of!)
After all the touring, it was time to dial things back a notch. Even the Thirsty Tourists need the occasional breather, although apparently our idea of relaxing still involves checking out bars, catching up with people and exploring somewhere new!
We checked into the Oaks Aurora Suites in Brisbane and settled in for a few days enjoying the city at a more leisurely pace. It was a chance to take a break from the touring, catch up with family and friends, and have a bit of a look around without constantly watching the kilometres tick over.
Of course, we couldn’t just sit around doing absolutely nothing. That would be far too sensible!
During our stay, we managed to squeeze in visits to:
Fat Angel Sports Bar and Grill – a chance to grab a drink and soak up the sports-bar atmosphere.
Brooklyn Standard – another Brisbane venue added to the Thirsty Tourists’ ever-growing list.
The Treasury Casino – because apparently taking a break from touring doesn’t mean taking a break from exploring!
With a few days to unwind and catch up with everyone, Brisbane provided a welcome change of pace before it was time to point ourselves towards home again.
Day 9 – Homeward Bound
All good things must eventually come to an end, and it was time to pack up and head home once again.
Another Thirsty Tour successfully completed, more places explored, more memories made, and no doubt a few more venues added to the list for future adventures.
The bags were packed, the trip was done, and it was time to return to normal life — at least until the next touring opportunity came along!
Because let’s face it, sitting still for too long has never really been our strong point.
🍻 The Thirsty Tourists — Touring is thirsty work!
