'BRISBANE'
episode 1- the long stay
episode 2- starting off the big journey
episode 3- meeting again

As we got back in Brisbane we went to Karen's place. It was nice to see her again and we were very welcome. We even stayed there for free the time being this time.

Marie already left and there was now a German guy living.

We took our time to fresh up the car before putting it for sale in Sydney.

The day we returned I phoned Belinda and since then I spent a week with her in a house she had to take care of. It was a brilliant time... In between we went to see her mother somewhere up the Sunshine coast which was nice as well.

The lads had a new thing: parking the car in the heart of Brisbane as it was not registrated on our names, so they picked up a fine each day by the very same cop. Nice for the photoalbums. If I would have thought about that I didn't have to make all those hassel the times we were in Brisbane before...

It was a great week with not much sleep and each morning it was the question if we should leave for Sydney. Well it took a few days and as we finally left for Surfers Paradise I forgot my wallet in a restaurant so we got back again for a few days, which didn't bother me ofcourse...

There in Surfers Paradise we said goodbye to the Viking. It was a joy having known him, still knowing him actually. He spent his last days with a mate fromn Sweden who studied there for three months. Sounds brilliant doing that...

But we had to sell the car as we ran out of time and we wanted to work a bit again. So for this time it was farewell for good (?...)
