We arrived into Surfer's Paradise, or Surfer's for short, late. Surfer's is on the Gold Coast and is basically your typical tourist destination... a bit tacky. We were only there for two nights and our hostel is right in the middle of everything, which is good. The room is just a small hotel room with two bunk beds in it. Fortunately, our first night we had the room to ourselves. We went over the road and grabbed some good old fashioned Aussie doner kebabs and then watched some TV. Having not watched TV in months you realise how much you take it for granted. TV is awesome!!
The next day we got up early and got the bus to Warner Bros world, a theme park just out of town. They have a Superman ride which is ridiculous. It must be the fastest ride in the world. They've also got Batman rides, a Lethal Weapon ride (painful) and some cartoon rides for the kids. We also saw a Moto X and monster truck show and parades of all the characters. They even have a Batman show with him beating up some bad guys on the street! It was raining all day but we had ponchos, so all in all it was a good day. When we got back to the hostel some others had moved in. This made the room a little bit cosy. We all snuggled up and watched Gladiator though. Epic!!
This morning was our last in Surfer's before moving on to our next stop Byron Bay. Today the sun came out and so we took a walk along the beach where no one was surfing - wierd. We've had an all you can eat breakfast and stuffed ourselves silly. We both feel a little sick. This afternoon we'll be in Byron where Siobhan can hula hoop with all the other hippies.
