Here are Tom and Lauren by the Opera House. It is pretty darn huge and its not actually as white as it looks. It is the whitest at sunset with the reflection of the sun. It is also not one big building...it is in separate pieces...you can kind of see that here. Anyway we went and hung out here a few days ago. It is pretty sweet. We were going to go see an Opera but it was quite expensive. Dad(Mark) and Crosswordians we thought of you though...they are doing "A Streetcar Named Desire" the Opera. I bet it is amazing.

Today we went on an adventure to Olympic Park. It was quite a hike, but when we got there it was pretty spectacular. It is just huge. We took a water taxi which was really fun. It is just like a bus on water. It stops and picks up people along the way. Even though the weather was cold and rainy, it was still fun being on the water. We also went to the Aquarium. It was the perfect rainy day activity. :)

Tomorrow morning bright and early we leave for Surfers Paradise. We are staying there as we explore Brisbane and the surrounding areas. The weather should be warmer and the beaches more inviting. Hopefully our next pictures will be with only one layer of clothing and minus our fleece jackets. :)
