Aidan took off early to run into work and Peta managed a morning sleep after numerous sessions with the little boys overnight. Levi rode his bike to daycare and told his friends about it as soon as he arrived. Molly was not too old to chase any suspicious moving thing.
We all piled into the car at 11:30am and visited Aidan's workplace, then walked with him to "The Three Monkeys", where we had an excellent lunch in a log cabin annex. Beef pie, pumpkin soup, pizza, sandwiches, coffee, smoothies, ginger beer. Nathan was super full also. Can you see him?
We came back to Chapel Hill, packed our bags and waited at the Alkira bus stop for the 444 bus to Roma St, due at 6.18pm. Five buses went past and our one sneaked past another that had stopped at our stop. It was now 6:30 and we were getting annoyed but the next 444, due at 6:33 arrived straight after and we boarded it. Both 444 buses arrived at Roma St at the same time, 7pm. We found our way to Platform 10 where country trains leave from and safely boarded an 8pm bus to Toowoomba. Our Westlander train was not able to come into Brisbane because of track work. We have a history of buses replacing our booked trains.
We arrived at Toowoomba Station at 10pm and waited on the cold platform for 40 minutes before they let us board the train. It became apparent that the Westlander normally takes four hours to proceed from Brisbane to Toowoomba, so our train could not leave until 11:30. Robyn is booked to travel from Brisbane to Dalby tomorrow by bus, taking only three hours. The Westlander takes five and a half hours for that trip.
We were ready for sleep but two young fellows held a loud conversation until 1:30am and the woman behind us was coughing terribly.
