Weekend Away

Well... the slacko that I am is only now reporting on a weekend away I had with my sister earlier this month. Was so much fun! I won the flight earlier in the year so flew to Brisbane and met up with my sister who drove down from the Sunshine Coast for a girly weekend. I thought I was organised, but Sue had planned most things down to a T with a two page schedule for fun she had developed. Of course this included shopping, cafes and markets. We stayed at a swanky hotel and were also treated to a day spa pampering. Some of you would already know my anxiety at booking into a hot stone massage only to learn following the booking that it was going to be a guy called Scott who was going to massage my near naked body. OMG! When did guys start working at day spas? Following much hesitation at having this done, I decided it would be a challenge I was to overcome so went ahead. In the end, Scott was really cool and we chatted like girlfriends during the entire session (I have a hunch he liked the colour pink!).
The highlight of the holiday for me was the club my sister insisted we go to on Saturday night. I didnt have any particular expectations, but was blown away at how amazing this place was! The club is called Cloudland and apparently it has won many architectural/design awards. Visiting it I could see why! If I lived more locally, I would be heading there most weekends for a quick drink. Just like stepping into a fantasy movie set and the ceiling of the club is clear glass so at night you can see the stars!! See below photos.
