My cousin comes to visit


My cousin Jabez (Jabe, Jay) has been visiting us for the last couple of weeks. He arrived one Sunday and we toured the CBD, taking in the Opera House and the bridge, the botanical gardens, the art gallery, and a walk round Darling Harbour - just getting his bearings really. The following weekend we went to the zoo for a bit, which was good fun. I saw the bird show again, one of the highlights of the zoo, I have to say. And Elissa and I rode an elephant! We also went to see FourPlay, a string quartet who play rock songs. Recommended listening (though there's only so much a viola can sounds like AdRock).
Jabe is now in Brisbane with friends, and is in Australia for a few more weeks. He's hoping to take in more of Queensland too. I'll be following in his travelling footsteps in a few months, but I haven't planned it much yet. More here as it happens, of course.
