Today we had a very traditional Australian day! The sun was out this morning so we decided to postpone Wet ‘n’ Wild and head to the beach instead. Our accomadation is in the Surfer’s Paradise area of the Gold Coast, and just 10 minutes walk from one of the many beaches along the coast. The sea was particularly sildenafil rough today, but the lifeguards are very good at keeping people in safe areas and away from the rip tides. We had lunch on Cavill Avenue, which is the main street in Surfer’s Paradise, with plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants.
In the evening we made the short journey down the coast to Palm Beach, where Beck, her husband Matt and their children live. Beck’s parents (Pete and Pat) own a camper van and are always on the move, but happened to be staying outside Beck and Matt’s house at the moment before leaving for Tasmania in a few weeks. We had a nice relaxing evening with a BBQ, pavlova (which is a traditional Australian dessert) and plenty of XXXX (which is brewed in Brisbane!).
Tomorrow we’re continuing with the Australian traditions and going surfing!
Oh your in qld! Think brissie cbd out at the moment for you
That’s a PROPER sun tan you’ve got there bruv
I know… I’ve been using factor 45 all day and apparently it doesn’t work! Going for a different one tomorrow…
LOL! Yes I’ve used one like that before! Mum is worried about the floods. I laughed when I saw that photo on the beach!
Hi Howie, I didn’t get the chance to reply to yesterday’s posting but it all looked very interesting especially St Mary’s church – is it Roman Catholic? Not too sure about the shark though! The Gold Coast looks lovely. You will be glad to know that we have had grey skies and steady drizzly rain all day today. The floods in Brisbane look awful. I am now home (until Sunday) so Tony has been able to catch up with your blog. He says that he thinks you have done it very well. He is on jury service at Harrow Crown Court this week and is very disappointed as he hasn’t been called yet. Continue to enjoy the Aussie life whether it be the beach, barbies or Wet and Wild! Love Mum xxxx
Good times Howie!
FYI – Pavlova is a NZ desert the Aussies stole!! Trip sounds awesome Howie, keep enjoying!!
