Hong Kong
Our second stopover was in Hong Kong.
We took a trip over to Hong Kong Island and wandered around the street markets, which are full of colour, noise and the locals doing their daily shopping.
We spent some time in the South Seas Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui, the Cafe de Fontaine has a good selection of beer and food.
On our final day a thick fog enveloped the city and gave the skyscrapers a ghostly appearence as they tried to break through the haze.
Our final stopover was in Bahrain.
The Bahrain skyline is dominated by a huge number of building projects, especially on the coast of the City of Manama. Away from the coast you can still wander the small streets and alleyways of the old town and see how the locals go about their daily living.

We took a train down to the harbour, visited the Opera house and then visited several pubs in the 'Rocks' disrtict. The Fortune of war pub is the oldest pub in Sydney, dating back to 1828.

Brisbane
Leaving Surfers Paradise we drove onto our final destination of the road trip...The City of Brisbane.
Brisbane has made the most of it riverside location, with some good waterside walks, parks and even an inner City beach with man made lagoon. A must for any visitor is a boat trip down the Brisbane river, with great views of the City's skyline.

Surfers Paridise
Leaving Coolangatta, we drove onto Surfers Paradise.
We decided to spend a day at the Races (horses) and drove to the Surfers Paradise racecourse, its a great place to spend a few hours with plenty of atmosphere and some colourful characters.
We both managed to back a couple of winners and came out even in the betting stakes.
