Brisbane

We both decided that we couldn't take another full day of Expo, so we targeted a small number of pavilions in off-peak time. We left about two o'clock, and started with the pavilions we wanted to show Brendan -- the Northern Territory display, the Hitachi animal capers, and then Mandy took him to Ford while I queued for Canada. Mandy had exited UK by the time I got there so while I went through she joined the Italy line. After Italy it was Spain, then while Mandy did Fujitsu, Brendan and I queued for Australia where Mandy joined us. Then fish and chips for tea at Brendan's insistence about eight o'clock.

Unfortunately, the queues got longer not shorter after tea, being Friday I suppose, so not much else was achieved. I saw Thailand, and Mandy saw Papua New Guinea, Sri Lanka and Fiji, but the queues for the Magna Carta, Kenya and the monorail were too large, so we headed home at 9:15. Except for New Zealand which we didn't even attempt because of the four hour wait, we felt quite satisfied that we had seen enough, and all that we wanted to. We were very weary and tired, but it had been an enjoyable four days.
