Thursday 21st January.
Moving on day again. We left Byron after I'd done some last minute shopping and headed for the Gold Coast. It only took a couple of hours to drive there and we checked in our camp site at Main Beach Tourist Park in the afternoon. Strangely enough the time zone changes when you hit Queensland and we were now an hour behind New South Wales. The campsite was nice, had a swimming pool, and it was mostly families there on holiday. We quickly located the subway down the road then spent the afternoon by the pool catching some rays. Our power cable blew for the van so the maintenance guy on site, Josh, came to the rescue and leant us his. In the evening we decided to head to the centre to find somewhere to eat. It was a couple of stops down on the bus. We worked out on the way back we could pass as students which was half the price for the bus fare so that was a winner! We got speaking to an Italian couple who now live in Melbourne and were all agreeing how the bus driver was rude. We walked about and found all the bars, shops and restaurants and signed up for a bar crawl on Saturday. It was $30 with 'Wicked' which an English lad called Mike sold to us, he also gave us some discount vouchers for food places. We decided to use one so went to Melbas for a $5 pizza and a beer. I video called my friend Aimee from home and managed to briefly catch up with her and hear what she had been up to. It made me miss home, but I am having the best time here I could easily stay for a lot longer. We didn't have a really late night and we actually bumped back in to the same Italian couple on the bus back too. We watched some of the inbetweeners before we went to sleep.
