Brisbane calling

It was another 10hrs of travelling to reach Brisbane. The adventure started just trying to catch the bus to the train station. It was about 20 minutes late making it seriously tight to catch the train. Fortunately and perhaps predictably the train was late so disaster averted. There's an odd ball bunch on the train today. A guy a few seats down looks like he's running away from a mental asylum and there's a stupidly noisy family right behind me. Even the adults are pathetic, what hope do the kids have! Damn I'm not sure the iPod goes loud enough to block them out. 

I arrive in Brisbane quite late, the last   3 hours were by bus transfer where I chatted with David, a retired Brisbane man who recently moved down to Melbourne. Really friendly chap and made up for the dodgy family earlier. 

The yha in Brisbane was brand new and really nice, definitely somewhere to come back to. I'm on a local train today out to Sandgate near Jason's house. Me attracting weirdos continues. There's a probably drunk guy singing "killing me softly" in the carriage really very badly. He just tried serenading a middle aged woman who was decidedly unimpressed. Oh good, he's moved into the next carriage now. 

Disaster he's coming back, oh jeez save my ears please. Haha how did this idiot even get on the train? I chat with the middle aged lady, we laugh about it, you meet all sorts indeed.  Ah Sandgate here we are.
