This morning we started our day at 9am. Because we couldn’t eat at the hotel, we ate at a shopping hall near the hotel. After our breakfast we went to mount Cootha, a view of Brisbane which was very wonderful. There I read the poem about the soldiers in the war. 

After the view we went to the planetarium. Because the employers had made a mistake and almost booked us in forforthe kiddies show, we changed plans and first ate lunch and then we went to watch the presentation. We saw a presentation about the stars and the planets. It was in a room with a dome where the stars were projected. The position of the stars were very different than in Belgium. For example the Australians don’t have the big bear. 

Later we did a guided tour around the city. They split the group in 2 smaller groups. And we learned more about the history of the city. We saw many old buildings. But I think the tour was a bit too long because it was hard to walk 2 hours in the full sun. Next we had free time so we went shopping and we had much fun trying on some clothes. Elena styled all of us which was so much fun. After the end of our free time, we had pasta, pizza... at Vapiano. It was a weird way of taking orders. When everyone was done, we walked back to the hotel and we talked a little. That was our day in Brisbane.
