Marrakesh Resort Surfers Paradise

... to Melbourne for what is apprently one of the best weeks of the year in Australia; Melbourne Cup. I'm guessing it is similar to the Kentucky Derby back home. <br> So, that is what I have been up to since arriving in Australia, and what the plan is for the next week or so.<br> Did I mention the weather here is perfect? Sunny, breezy, and comfortably warm...

... campsite wanting $36 for<br>an unpowered plot, so we head on. We think that heading a little out<br>of the city would be a cheaper alternative for camp sites. So we<br>head to a few places we'd spotted on the map.....but both were<br>closed. With the time now gone 6pm and pitch dark, it seems every<br>camp site was closed. We head to a store to get some food and drink<br>while we decide what to do, Michelle asks the guy behind the counter<br>at the ...

... it. - Me and Kim brought tickets for Warner Brother's Movie world and Wet 'n' Wild, we also went to Dreamworld as it's another themepark - We didn't go to White Water World as it's exactly the same as Wet 'n' Wild - and lets face it once you've been to one water park you've been to them all. Warner Bro's movie world was good to go to because everyone's heard of Disney world and it's nice to see what Warner Bros had at their themepark! Instead ...

... food all evening and night. Something we both could have continued to do -well - for ever. We thought about abandoning our plans of touring the coast or at least delaying them to spend more time with our wonderful hosts, but the road beckoned. So after a near tearful goodbye with our new friends we were off to experience the real gold coast (to the north, where we could see what appeared to be a city of skyscrapers). Actually first Jeff had to go buy a surfboard ...

... There is only 1 bar....but no-one drinks. You just go there to smoke a jint cause it is still illegal. The guy who drove our bus there 'Dougie' was a self confessed 'professional hippy' He told us all the protests he went on, naked parties he throws and basically how **** the government were for not legalising dope. He was saying its harmless. He brought his son up...in his words...using harlmess drugs such as Canabis, Mushrooms and acid...bloody ACID. I ...

... surfer dude - really laid back but still enthusiastic. Under his guidance we both managed to stand briefly, but the end of a surf was always inevitable! Apparently Fiji is quite good for surfing, so we might try and hire boards there and have another go! The following morning we played tennis at the campsite adn unfortunately Jilly sprained her ankle - it happens to the best players. It's since gone through a variety of colours and shapes (I think she was almost a ...

... All in all the Aussies have been pretty friendly (some much more friendly than others!), although they do need to learn a new song other than "Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi!" It really gets old quickly and couldn't compete with the Barmy Army rendition of God Save YOUR Queen and You All Live in a Convict Colony (to the tune of Yellow Submarine). It's a shame the Fun Police were out, banning the Mexican ...

... one that we saw was about the size of a cat. I tried to get close to take a picture of it on top of the bin and ran a mile as did Lenny and moose when the bloody thing jumped out on top of the bin and started hissing at me. I was really scared but determined to conquer my fear, so we headed deeper into the gardens when we noticed a few koreans with there tutor feeding the little blighters. We deicded to go over and have a word with them, as soon as we got there I ...
