A Saturday ride on the City Cat

Today was a fabulous day. Brooke and hopped on the City Cat this morning and headed over to this cute neighborhood, Bulimba, people had been telling us about. Not only is it fun to say, but it lived up to my expectations. Bulimba is a residential area, but there are lots of cafe's and some boutiques along the main road, Oxford. We went into the boutiques and bought a cure tank top (on sale!), sat at an outdoor restaurant and had lunch, then went into the shops along the road. I'd been searching for a place to get my hair done and we fortuitously stumbled upon a salon Brooke had heard of and the head stylist was able to squeeze me in on the spot. They were so nice and gave us lots of tips on where to go...and gave us champagne!

After hair, we sat at another outdoor cafe and had wine while we watched the sun start to descend over the water before hopping back on the water taxi to head back home. It's such a soothing feeling to ride along the water here. Ahhhh...
