Since I was in no hurry, I lazed in bed lol. I only left for the city around 11am. I went to The Queen Street Mall. I visited The Myer Centre, Brisbane Arcade, Wintergarden, Broadway on The Mall, Macarthur Central... just taking in the sights and sounds. :) No lah, I wasn't shopping at those shopping centres that I mentioned. I really was just looking. :) I did shop but only at those shops which I used to frequent when I was studying in Brisbane lol. What can I say? I am a woman of habit lol.

I always go to the South Bank after my city shopping on Fridays. At South Bank, there are quite a number of eating places and the most importantly, there is the Friday Night Market where you can find art, craft, homewares, collectibles, designer fashion and more. :) I took some photos of the city lights from the South Bank. Lovely views. :)

Finally I decided to have dinner at Decks Seafood and Steak Restaurant. I was seated outdoors where the evening breeze was nice, cool and refreshing after a warm day. I ordered an Atlantic Salmon (AUD$31): salmon grilled with sautéed kiphlers and chorizo sausage topped with tomato and citrus salsa. It took a while for my order to arrive because it was quite crowded. But it was ok as I took the time to relax and enjoy the scenery, the breeze and basically, enjoy life. The salmon was beautifully done and went really well with the tomato and citrus salsa.
After dinner, I took a nice leisurely walk around the South Bank to take in the sights as well as to aid in my digestion (:P) before heading home. I felt very contented as I have taken another trip down memory lane.
