we arrived in Surfer's Paradise and thought what a crap hole. it was like a poor mans Miami. after checking into our hostel we went for a wander around the town. we did a spot of Billabong and Ripcurl shopping as it was to late to head to the beach. that evening we had all you can eat pizza and we got our moneys worth as we are not amateurs unlike some who only had a couple of slices. later on we met up with a stalker of Laurens she does attract them bless her!!...
