Mari Court Resort Surfers Paradise

... There are Caucasian people everywhere, the prices are similar to New York, and I have been able to watch American football and television shows on Tivo. This is sharp contrast to sleeping in hallways in dorm rooms with no air conditioning, and sometimes not a single tourist in sight.<br> The plan is to stay here in Surfer's Paradise for another week, then ...

... men have to wear shoes, pants, a collared shirt, and in my case long sleeves so my tatoo isnt showing, despite the 30 degree weather. it was probably a coilation between the local owners to torture the tourists for personal enjoyment, high fiving when we all walk in sweating buckets anyways, we met up with the swedish guys from byron who came here for new years and the swiss girls we met in our ...

Trips to Surfers Paradise We wanted to see a few of the towns around the Surfers paradise like Southport but we were put off when a couple of people said that there was literally nothing there, and that they are just like any another industrial town and that we'd be better off spending more time in Surfers if we wanted to see what the Gold coast was really about. Other than surfer's paradise the gold coasts famous for it's themeparks and that's ...

... beatiful stilted house that Shane built with huge ceilings, varied rooflines, antique - salvaged windows, and a Balinese feel (or so I was told as we haven't been there yet). It was a really special place and sat on an old banana plantaiton with huge views and only one other house in sight. Shane said that it was more about the veranda than the inside, and I'd have to agree with him as we sat out on the veranda drinking good wine and eating Julie's deliciously home ...

... I dont recall anything of this night which is so frustrating cause when i checked my camera the next day there is a fit bird kissing me on the cheek. No idea who she is or what happened. DAMN YOU GOON!! We took a day trip to 'Nimbin'. Its a small town inland and is full of hippies. It literally is a place where people live to smoke weed all day!! I've never seen anywhere like it. It is a small high street with shops selling canabis pipes and hippy ...

... which makes it hard to wade back out and makes the waves smaller and there were a large number of rips that make it difficult. However, despite these difficulties, we were in fact quite successful for our first 2 hours of surfing. We tried to take some photos with another underwater camera, but we might have to wait till Fiji to get them developed - we're not planning on spending too much time in the freezing water of New Zealand! The instructor was a typical ...

... days here, and it was only Pietersen's and Collingwood's batting that gave us a glimpse that we can compete. I managed to get tickets for all days, some at even less than face value (seems the Aussies unwisely bought them all up hoping to make a fortune on eBay). Maybe Melbourne and Sydney will be different but there were plenty to go around here, and I even got invited into the Queensland Cricket Club members ...

Due to lack of funds and getting bored of sitting round the hostel, me, Lenny and the moose chaser decided to do something completely random which was to go possum hunting in the botanical gardens. We knew there was some there because the moose said that he'd seen some with his missus when they'd walked through there at night. We had a walk down there and I managed to spot the first one. Possums are basically the same as a racoon but have got smaller features, however the ...
