Paradise Sun

Hi everyone. Thanks for logging on. I will keep you all updated with my travels over the next year to Asia and Australasia. I will have to keep most of it clean as my family will be reading this...so to find out all my stories on drugs, parties, birds and ...

... the afrikaans songs, wonderfull. Tuesday was a peacefull day at the hotel playing cards, laughing and generally "BALLAS BAKKING" in the sun. Wedensday Jorrie and Norman decided to try their hand a t a bit of fishing without any luck except for Jorrie who ...

... quite excited mainly because we had booked tickets to go to Dreamworld which is a big theme park just outside Surfers Paradise but also because the sun was shining AT LAST! I went to Dreamworld when I was in Australia last time and thoroughly enjoyed it ...

... the town and have a look at the shops. We found this great cheap shop, so I bought some basic stuff that I needed. Surfers Paradise is a very commercial place, with a lot of high rise building on the beach. A pity really since these cast a shadow over ...

... we (Big/Little Cockles, Miller and newcomer Ms Cara-Lee) hopped on the bus and headed south for the town of Surfers Paradise, which as you could probably gather is paradise for ....uh..... surfers. So, we rocked up at the bus terminal and consulted ...

... we tried it out. The bus was pretty busy but comfortable, made a quick lunch stop and arrived in surfers paradise for around 1.30. The Surf n Sun hostel arrange free pickups from the transit centre so we got to the hostel pretty simply. The staff were ...

... catch a flight back to Glasgow, pour soul! After arriving following what was a short and pleasant motorway journey to Surfers Paradise I set out straight to my hostel; deciding to forego the opportunity of a free bus as I fancied navigating myself ...

So beach bumbing is going very well here in Surfers Paradise. A little bit about surfers: Point Break, the surfer action movie had the ending based here. It's also a vacation and party spot for Aussies and Japanese lots of bilingual brochures. This place ...

... ) Schoolies have also taken over this city as well. Our hostel doesn't accept them though, thank goodness! Surf’n’Sun hostel: 1 block from the beach, free laundry, free wifi, free upgrade to the apartments with our own bathroom and kitchen, ...

... really lost 15 minutes aboard the bus! After being dropped off at the Bus Station we caught the shuttle to our hostel, Surfers Paradise Backpacker Resort. Me and Lisa were joined by German Miriam and Lauren, one of the girls from Birmingham that we met on ...

... rain, so we don't go nowhere.  But the day after we get picked up and go to Fadhila.  Scorecard on Kadidiri Paradise - it isn't really worth it (apart from the dive instructor who was particularly good).  Beer cost a lot (by Indonesian ...

... , gaan de stad in. Veel leuke hostel-genoten om mee te lachen, koken, stappen en te voetballen op het strand. Surfers' Paradise is niet mijn stad, maar het hostel heeft van de ervaring een paar onvergetelijke dagen gemaakt!   G'day mates, Bas ...

... we will probably not visit again. I may start a petition to get the name of this place changed. It is more Preston than paradise, and I saw about 4 people surfing in 3 days (I have a theory that the council organise to pay for at least one person to be ...

... I wanted to tell your one where to stick the keys but as I'm a nice guy, I bit my tongue.  Moved to Surfers Paradise backpackers which was alright.  The surf show started up again that morning at 8.30 and we got there about 11, around the ...

... walk from the beach. It was lovely and warm when we arrived so we went for a walk along the beach and into surfers paradise (we were staying slightly out of it which turned out to be much nicer!) and explored the shops which we were really disappointed ...

The hostel was everything but a paradise. Don't stay there if you can help it! The kitchen was smelly and hadn't been cleaned for a couple of yrs. Same with the bathrooms in the room. Mold everywhere, yuck! Surfers was Ok, good place for clubbing. But ...

... ; bus station. Lu closed the door to the van one final time with  "medium" force. We boarded the bus onto Surfers Paradise... The land of no BYO, and  overpowered teenagers. So 2 hours later we arrive in Surfers, already we can feel ...

The next day the weather was lovely and we took full opportunity to sit  around the pool in the sun for a good few hours, although the pool was  far too cold to get into. This is where we met Gary, Josh, Angela and  John. They had been ...

Spent a few days here. It wasn't what i expected, twas basically a cross between Miami and a mediterranean sun holiday...loads of palm trees, skyscrapers and a beachfront. A resort and a city in one. A bit souless compared to Byron, but decent ...

... Paradise is an ugly dump, full of drunk party goers, theives and bad hostels. We were pleasantly surprised. Our hostel 'Backpackers in Paradise' is clean and small with a swimming pool and we're in a dorm of 20. There's a lot of rules but everyone ...

Surfers paradise is pretty much as you would expect it to be, paradise for surfers! Upon arriving in the extremely tourist town, the beach was closed as the waves were actually too big!!  We checked into our hostel which was about 20 mins out of ...
