downunder 08 - dralion

We flew from Hobart to Brisbane and then met up with Heather's son Ben & his girlfriend Jasmine. This is the first time we had a chance to meet Jasmine so we marked the occasion by taking in a Cirque du Soleil show. Cirque du Soleil visit Australia every couple of years with a different travelling show that is performed under a large circus tent - "Le Grand Chapiteau". The concept of Dralion is a clash between eastern (Dragon) and western (Lion) cultures played out with the usual amazing juggling, balancing, trampoline and trapeze acts and exotic costumes. Afterwards we enjoyed a great meal at a Thai restaurant. (We haven't yet found a good Thai restaurant here in Salt Lake so Heather was craving it).
