We hired a car from Brisbane and drove along the Gold Coast to Surfer's Paradise. On the way we entered a tropical storm...and when I say storm, it absolutely wacked down! We couldn't see where we were going at all!
Got to our hostel, 'The Islander Resort'. This is a backpackers hostel that shares the facilities with the hotel facilities. It even had a sauna and steam room!
Surfer's is a wicked place, it's where it is all happening. It's got a beautiful beach (the one in the pic), shops galore, huge high rise hotels and the biggest theme parks in Oceania! 2 of which Mark and went to. We went to Warner Brothers Movie World and a water park called Wet n Wild and it was wild! Some of the rides we went on were wicked. Mark's crazy and wants to go on anything and everything!
We also did a lot of shopping which maybe we shouldn't have! One night we decided to go on the lookout for a gym as I was dying to do a class or something! We found a Fitness First Platinum which I could almost say, it was nearly as nice as David Lloyd...not quite though! (ha ha) The treadmills had fans on! I did a Body Combat class sampling the new release before all you guys get to, I leave you to make up your own minds on what you think of it...ermmm
We stayed in Surfers for 5 nights so by the end we were ready to move onto Byron Bay (down the coast) as the shopping nearly wore me out! :P
Last stop before Xmas in Syndey!
