Today's my last day in Byron Bay. Woke up early today as I had to return the key before the owner goes to work. After packing up, the airbnb owner gave me a ride to town. With my huge backpack, there's not many places that I can chill at for too long. I found myself an Egyptian cafe and I found myself a corner seat amidst cushions. Thankfully it's a weekday morning so there ain't much crowd.
Brunch was a cold drip coffee, a plate of corn fritter, bacon, poached eggs and rocket, and a bottle of cold pressed mixed juice. It was such a relaxing morning as I spent three hours, from 9 am to 12nn, at the cafe reading a novel and slowly eating. This is the relaxing life that I love.
After the relaxing brunch, I headed to the beach and flew my drone for a bit in sport mode before heading to the railway park where I flew the drone a bit more. I had wanted to fly my drone to my airbnb place but all the surrounding houses created too much electromagnetic interference and my remote controller's range was barely at 1km. After a short while, my greyhound bus had arrived. It was time to leave Byron and that was such a bittersweet moment. I love the beauty of Byron Bay but the high prices of food really made it difficult to stay in Byron Bay for long, especially since I was not allowed to cook at my airbnb.
The bus ride to Brisbane took about 2.5 hours and was pretty uneventful. The free WiFi onboard allowed me to listen to Singaporean radio while I continued to read my novel. By the time I was in Brisbane, I was done with my book!
Walking from Roma Street Station to my airbnb apartment at Manning Street took longer than expected as I took a wrong turn. In the end, I had to wait outside the apartment for half an hour as the owner was late. After checking in, I took a stroll towards and past Minton Village and onto the surrounding estate.
Dinner with Joel, James, Kah Wan, Zoe, James' parents and aunty was at a Vietnamese Restaurant in town. I ordered a Laksa and it was so comforting to eat something that's closer to heart, and something that's soupy and a little spicy. Post dinner, it was groceries shopping for tomorrow's breakfast, which I'll be cooking for the guys. Scrambled eggs, sausages, sautéed mushrooms and toast.
Post dinner also meant chit chat over wine at my apartment, since James' getting married in three days time. Really soon!
