Day Three 30/4

Today we decided to catch the local train into the city and have a look around. It took around 40 minutes to get into the city, but surprisingly it went quite quickly. First off we walked down the one of the piers (1 on the map) to catch the ferry across to the other side of the water where Southbank is (2 on the map). Southbank is a cultural/family orientated area with free water playgrounds, cafes, boardwalks etc. It's such a nice, relaxing area.We saw a chocolate cafe and decided to pop in for morning tea. It was devine! Beats Margaret River Chocolate Factory hands down! 

We went for a walk to the pier and decided to take some trips up and down the Brisbane River to check out the scenery.We went back to 1 on the map, and then around to 2.. Where we stopped off, was a short walk to the Queen St Mall. We meandered our way thru the mall and headed back up to the train station (marked by the oval). 


Here are a couple of random photos taken during the day.
