Solaire Apartments Surfers Paradise

... on the Jet Rescue ride and loved it. We all got soaked on the flume ride, but the girls chickened out on going on the corkscrew rollercoaster! (I never go on anything which has the words 'roller’ or ‘coaster’ in the name as I absolutely hate them!!)

Having had a fun day we returned back exhausted!

As an aside we have had several pie products since we have been in Oz. The Aussies do seem to love their pies. I, on the otherhand, have ...

... place, where souvenir shops lined the streets and sat incongruously next to posh themed restaurants. Although the streets where extremely clean. I think the fact that we was exhausted from travel may have clouded our views but first impressions are what last and to come halfway around the world to stay in a posh version of Blackpool left a nasty taste in our mouths. Just like a Gold plated Dog ****…. When it comes down to it and you look past the ...

... drinking light beers we were drinking bad wine! Needless to say I ended up puking wine that night, and i seldom ever puke.......good times
Back at Toms place, the English girls that are staying with us are quite unsocial, never do their dishes and just aren't fun to be around, so we give them hell! We have played every practical joke under the sun on them and make it one of our nightly things to do. We met a french Canadian girl Josee who couch surfed with us for a few days ...

... confront the kids. He wisely decides they are too drunk to deal with and calls the police and gets the hell outta there. Im pleased I didnt walk back!! The journey back takes 10 mins and im back at the hotel in my giant bed with my smeg microwave and beepy dishwasher one more time. There is a bruise under my left foot, but nobody will be surprised about that as you all know im a bit risky and would rather jump fences than the normal route like normal people ;-)

... places - including the monorail, the casino, the Q tower , really expensive homes and condos etc. The tower is the 20th highest bldg in the world and overlooks not only the beaches but also the ocean, rivers, gorgeous homes and boats.Going up to the top and seeing the view was truly a great experience - much better than the CN tower.We also had some fun playing the penny slots and Nancy had some luck. I forgot about our ...

... everything there shuts at 10pm - so not a lot of options to amuse oursleves! No TV, Internet or Kitchen!! So all we could do was sit out front and watch the world go by.....till bedtime! What a night! Our 6 bed dorm was like a sauna and any hope of sleeping was long gone! Friday 22nd February 2008 Decided to stop being big wimps and have a bit of fun in the Sun - so off to Dreamworld amusement park we skipped! After an hr's wait for a bus in the 35 degree heat ...

... gusts of 100kmh +) so that was a good test. We quickly had breakfast and I (Stephen) got lunch together whilst Suz had a shower (still coughing and only feeling 80%) and at about 9.30am we headed off back down south on the M1 and the boys excitement level grew the closer we got to Dreamworld and it was decided that Cyclone (Roller coaster) would be the first choice and Tower of Terror (car on rails that shoots straight off at high acceleration ...

Hej allesammen:) Lige en hurtig hilsen herfra:) Internetcafeen lukker om et kvarter, saa det blir lige en kort hilsen. Jeg ville ha lagt nogle billeder ind idag, men det kan man aabenbart ikke her, saa endnu engang maa jeg holde jer paa pinebaenken. Ej men det er bare lidt sjovere at se billeder end bare at laese tekst. Saa vil virkelig goere mit bedste for at finde et sted, hvor jeg kan laegge billeder ind naeste gang. Men jeg maa hellere til sagen ...

... journal - none of which will mean anything to the thieving Aussie *******s who took them. One good thing to come out of the whole experience was that when we went to the local cop shop to report the incident, the attending officer was a Kiwi. When he heard that we were moving on to NZ next, he couldn't wait to take us on a virtual tour of his home country by means of pointing out the main highlights on a detailed tattoo of both islands on ...

... everyone else in the city was out powerwalking home too, so it wasn't like a silly tourist was just doing her thing all alone in the dark. I showered once again with my all-purpose bar of soap (my hair feels really funny tonight) and headed downstairs, hoping someone would be watching Neighbours. Success! The only problem was Sarah. She introduced herself last night and I realized immediately that she has some kind of mental problem. Dunno what it is, I feel like torretts ...
