08.06.23 Melbourne to Brisbane - Travel Day

Left for Brisbane this morning. Headed to the airport first thing, grabbed some breakfast and then waited for our flight out. First time in years where we didn’t need to show ID to check our bags, or go thru security. Didn’t even need to show our boarding passes to get thru security. So weird.

Arrived in Brisbane around lunch time. Wanted to watch the Netherlands- South Africa game while we had lunch. We decided to stay at the airport to try to find a tv to watch. Ended up at one of the airport hotel bars. Just our luck, they didn’t have the correct channel to watch the game. Instead they had a replay of the game we had just watched on the plane from the day before. We went ahead and had lunch before heading to our hotel.

Bought a 3 day transit pass at the airport train station. Rode the train to the last stop. Walked about a mile to our hotel from the train. Only to arrive and not be able to check in as their credit card machine was not working. We decided to bag check and walk around while we waited for the call. We got the call about 15 minutes later saying we could check in. Walked back to the hotel to check in and rest for a bit.

For dinner and the USA -Sweden game, we rode the bus to the CBD and a sports bar inside a casino. It was on of the few places we could find where the game was showing. Unfortunately, it was not the US’s night. They lost in a penalty shootout.
