Queensland part 2 – Gold Coast

Finally I am posting this up!!

We spent our day 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 in Gold Coast. It was great! Without tour guide, we still managed to walk around by ourselves. 1st thing we did when we reached Gold Coast was hit the beach!! Gold Coast is famous for the B-E-A-U-Tee-Fool beach! Nope, surfer paradise was not the 1st beach we went coz it was quite some distance away. We went to Main Beach instead, the beach was just opposite our backpacker’s accommodation. It was empty but pretty as well... big wind and waves... it’s getting dark by the time we reached but we still managed to take some photos and do some crazy stuff.

-nice beach-

-trust me, you do not want to know what was siang making-

After that we went to Surfer Paradise, no not the beach yet, we walked around the shops and had our dinner there. We had Indian Food. The food was great but the only bad thing was we had to wait for nearly an hour for our food! Maybe with the hunger and the frustration, the food tasted good... We also had cold rock ice cream as dessert. Cold rock ice cream was made by mixing the ice cream with titbits of your choice on an icy rock. It was good! But expensive tho...

-yummy indian food-

The next day, we went to Sea World! One of the theme parks that Gold Coast famous for!

-adorable penguins-

-dolphins show-

-oh wow!-

-polar bear-

-dugong, I think they are pretty cute! -

-seal show-

-sesame street show-

At night we went to Surfer Paradise again for dinner again, basically we went to Surfer Paradise every night to walk around and dinner. We had Italian food for dinner today together with Copenhagen ice cream!! They were seriously awesome!! The ice creams were freshly made and even the cone!! I miss the waffle cone so much!! They are the best waffle cone ever!!

-what we ordered-

-Ice Creaaaam-

-Lady Ice Cream, muahahaha-

On the Third day, we moved from Main Beach to Surfer Paradise to stay. 1st thing we did was of course hit the surfer paradise beach. It was a hot day, scorching hot sun and no wind... you can imagine the hotness. Even the sand were hot like we were being cooked standing on it. But nevertheless, you can see a lot of people sun bathing on the beach, we even saw naked woman (only one) lying down on the beach! O.o No I didn’t take any picture you hamsap people!

After we cleaned up and everything, we went to Harbour town, where all the outlets are to do some shopping. Lots of brands there, but I only bought a few stuffs but enough to make me the spender of the day. By the time we got back, it’s already dinner time, so we had Thai food that night! Then we walked around to explore more of the city.

On the fourth day, we went to Movie World! Another awesome theme park! Let the pictures do the talking now.

At night, we went to Hard Rock Cafe for dinner!! OMG, they were soooooo gooood!! Even Siang says she had the best vege burger ever!!

-cheh, the hard rock word so small-

-me and siang-

-hard rock cafe rocks!-

-the food-

On the last day, we went to Wax Museum, it’s not Madame Tussaud. It’s just a wax museum where all the wax statues look weird or fake... in my opinion, I think the best one is Kylie Minogue wax figure. After that we walked around to eat food that we wanted to have before we went back to Newcastle. So we opted for Hard Rock Cafe again, and Copenhagen Ice Cream. Basically we had dessert every night, it’s always either Copenhagen Ice cream or Cold Rock Ice Cream. And so, we went back to Newcastle on that same day afternoon. I’ll definitely go to Gold Coast again!

-Princess Diana and whoever whoever Price William wax figure-

-Kylie Minogue-

-Madame Tussaud-

-touched down on Newcastle, bye bye Queensland-
I kinda mixed up the dates and places, I have forgotten some of the details coz it's been like 3 months ago! I typed this few weeks ago but I just left it in my laptop without posting it up until now! And if you see me in the wrong shirt for the day, then yah I have mixed up the pictures. Cheers~
