Brisbane Airport (BNE) Ibis

We drove back to Brisbane from Noosa this morning, giving two Flyertalk friends a ride. The traffic wasn't bad, and we were happy to drop off our SIXT rental car, which was a heavily dented 2012 Corolla with 110,000 km. on the odometer.

The rental shuttle driver kindly dropped us off at the nearly-new Ibis before taking Glynnis and Saibal to the terminal.

The hotel only opened last October, and still has that brand-new shine throughout. It's a budget hotel but pleasant nonetheless.

They had a room for us at 11:30 AM, and there's a nice little restaurant on site. We'll hang out before taking a 7:30 AM (paid) shuttle to the airport in anticipation of Air Canada #36 to Vancouver at 10:30 AM, as another Oz Fest concludes.
