We flew from Christchurch into Sydney on Thursday only to discover (well we already knew but had forgotten) it was Mardi Gras weekend! So we had to ring round everywhere trying to find a bed as all the best hostels were fully booked. We managed to get into a crappy one which totally ripped us off so decided to get out of Sydney.
So the next day we got on a flight to Brisbane (we're such jet setters eh?) and then got the bus down to Surfers Paradise. As soon as we stepped off the plane it was so hot the heat just hit you, so basically I'm back to sweating and complaining about being hot a lot, but the beaches are absolutely gorgeous perfect white sand and crystal clear water and not as cold water as Sydney thank god! Oh and we managed to get a peak at the Versace Hotel! Some lucky b***** on our shuttle was staying there and for those of you who don't know its the hotel the celebrities get to stay in when they get booted out of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. Very swish!
The first night in Surfers we decided to go to a rugby match, obviously Kat's idea. It was the new Gold Coast Titan's first ever match versus Penrith Panthers and they won. It was pretty cool actually and not a bad night out.
The next day we just hit the beach and checked out the town. Surfers' is awesome. It's got a real holiday feel and full of tourists. The beach is beautiful and theres loads of cool bars and shops along the main street. Really cool here but for now we're heading for the infamous hippy hang-out Byron Bay.
