BrisVagas!

Hi all!

Well I was in lovely and sunny Brisbane during the week for work (I know I know... I get around don't I?). Working my butt off was made much easier by staying in a great hotel! I highly recommend staying in the
Marriott anytime you go to Brisbane - it was fantastic! (And believe me... I've stayed in so many hotels this year I'm almost sick of them... almost!)

I had a lovely view of the River - which was just stunning as the sun came up over it.

I was also lucky enough to be taken out for a few drinks by the wonderful Schaz! It was great to finally meet her, and can't wait to catch up again soon! Unfortunately I missed Suzie - but I hope to be back!

The Marriott also has the worlds BIGGEST breakfast! It was HUGE! It was enough for breakfast lunch and dinner! But it was great! Called the "Healthy Start" it had Bircher muesli, fruit salad, banana bread, bakery selection with a muffin, croissant, and a pastry, yogurt, fresh OJ, and a pot of coffee! I should have invited you all over for breaky - there was enough! So I just had a couple of mouthfulls out of everything!

The banana bread was to die for though - it was served with honey and cottage cheese, and what you see below was only HALF of it. Each of the 2 slices are the size of a large slice of cake that you'd get at a cafe. It was hands down the best banana cake I've ever sunk my teeth into!

But after living it up in Brisvagas... it was great to come home. Home to my bed, home to my boys (Murray and Boston) and just home to my house. It still surprises me how quickly Sydney has become home.
