Meriton Gold Coast Broadbeach

All the theme parks now say that you are not allowed to take food into the theme parks to make you buy their food. We decided to make lunch and get a leave at lunch out to the carpark - after you pay so much for the tickets any money you can save is a bonus. Must say we took a heap of fruit cut up that you are allowed to take plus a couple of other small snacks - overall did well on saving money.... except ...

... dann zum Lighthouse und letztendlich nach Lennoy Head, wo wir dann noch mal Surfstunden bekommen haben. Und da ich es ja so mit den Tourguides und Surfinstructors habe, habe ich Sabrina und mir gleich mal eine kostenlose Unterkunft bei Diego, einem brasilianischen Surflehrer, besorgt. Sabrina hat sich schlapp gelacht und meinte: "wir sind so ein gutes Team! Du besorgst die Unterkunft und ich die Mitfahrgelegenheit nach hause." Der Byron Trip war nämlich nur eintägig und wir ...

... camper, one either side and one at the back. They should make our bush camping a little more enjoyable as, before now, we have had to rely on a torch for any outside cooking. Margi has been fine tuning the catering side of the trip. The items that were not used last year will not be packed for this trip. The electric frying pan and steamer will both be ...

The next stop along the way was Surfer's Paradise. This is the stop that you seem to hear a lot about when you are traveling Australia. I have to say, it wasn't really my kind of place. The beach was kind of nice, the waves looked pretty decent. However, the beach was right next to the city. Surfer's has an over abundance of really tall buildings. These buildings also happened to be right next to the beach. I have never been to a place where you ...

Hey everyone, HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY! This is the day where all aussies have loads of beer, go the beach and hav bbqs. So we did something a little different we had a mexican cooked by myself with the help of Helen. We made maragritas, tacos and fajitas. Everyone was impressed with my cooking, the kiwi girls went out to watch the fireworks but when I woke the nest morning I found both Margret and Kerri having mexican for breakfast lol. Met Helen at ...

... got my certificates and I learns how to lived in different places, different culture and different lifestyle by my own. but I'm still a little concious about the different of Human Habits I might say... I was very surprised when I went to Bondi Beach, Sydney for the first time. Thousands and thousands of people lied down on ...

... 2 days have been overcast, the locals are getting quite excited at the prospect of some rain, we however are not! Saturday nights in Surfers have proved to be a very noisey business, most of Australia seemed to decend on the town, all of them scream and shouting along the streets, there were so many police cars and ambulances you would have thought you were in a middle of a riot, (I guess the English are just much more reserved?!) Till Byron...Enjoy.

... memories of Zante bar crawls!!! Now we are in Byron staying in a little hut/tent thing which is so hot and there are spiders everywhere, I came face to face with the biggest one I have seen so far this morning whilst half asleep (even Matt said it was a big spider!), it was on the outside of our tent but am now scared that it was trying to get in - oh and also they found a brown snake (2nd most dangerous snake in the world) 30 minutes from where we are staying and ...

... way out! In short, definately worth the price and I wish we could do it again because we were so excited that we kind of sped through. Feeling inspired by our fun time at Infinity led us to try out Space Walker, a space themed concept that is run by the same people. Unfortunately by the time we had got there we wouldn't have had enough time to do it properly. It was subsequently added to the list with Shrek 4D of things that we hadn't done that require us to visit again!

hey everyone again! Well here we are in Surfers Paradise at last! This is one of the main spots that Andy and i were most looking forward to coming to on our travels, and so far we have had an excellent time! The weather has been great except for the last couple of days where there have been some major tropical storms, but apart from that, it has meant that we have been able to spend alot of time on the beach. Which is also worth mentioning that the beach ...
