Brisbane & Lennox Head - day 48

At 3am this morning, the fire alarm went off... at first we thought it would stop, but it didn't, so we got dressed and then it stopped... so we thought we'd go back to sleep... but then another alarm went off that said "evacuate the building, evacuate the building..." and the firemen started coming in (2 trucks and 4 police cars), so we figured it might be serious! In the end, we spent 30 minutes outside in the street before being let in again... we still have no idea what happenned! After going back to sleep, we got up and checked out at 10am. We walked around the shopping area of Brisbane and until the river and then turned back and took the shuttle to the bus center. From there we took the bus to Byron Bay. In Brisbane the weather was amazing, very sunny and warm, but as soon as we were in the bus, it started raining and hailing and thundering... In Byron Bay we were picked up by Allan, a very nice Australian who we met on our tour from Alice Springs to Darwin. He took us to his house in Lennox Head where we had a very nice home-cooked dinner with Deirdre and Rowan. We swapped some of our pictures and stayed over at their place. It was great to sleep in a nice house for once (instead of all the backpacker hostels we've been to so far)! Thank you so much for having us over!!

Weather: sunny and delightful in Brisbane, very very cold in Lennox Head
