Day off in the CBD

I took a day off from paper writing today and we hung out in Brisbane's downtown area, aka the CBD. We checked out the dinosaurs at the Queensland Museum, then got fresh produce and chocolate at the farmers market. Before leaving, we stopped by the Winter Festival at King George Square to get some free chai and watch the ice skaters. That's right -- ice skaters. It was in the 60s today, but if you have a spare $30 you could ice skate in front of the city hall in Brisbane. While it had its charms, I'll take the Chriskindlmarket over Brisbane's winterfest any day.

  1. Uh, does $30 include skate rental? $30 USD?

  2. Yeah, 30 australian dollars (30.50 US dollars) includes skate rental and ice skating. I think most of it goes to keeping the ice cold in such warm weather though!
