Surfers Paradise Mon 8th Oct 2007
Arrived in Surfers and we were pciked up in a limosine. Its certainly not as cool as it sounds but it was something to have a photo in. Arrived at the hostel and realised Surfers is a party place. Bar Crawl that night however we decided that $25 could be spent on other stuff. Plus I am going to have to work in Sydney I think so I can live! Booked some trips to wet and wild and Dream world as that is what people really do when they are in Surfers oh and get drunk. Got to our room which was more like an apartment. 3 rooms with a lounge, dining room and kitchen. I thought it was really nice but Kathy didn't like the room. The room was small with very creaky beds and it was pretty hot during the day but we had a lounge and telly it was like being in halls again. 12 girls sharing so I like it but the squeeky beds are a bit annoying. Hazel had come to meet us from the limo so caught up with her and turns out she was in the same room. Started raining about 4:00 I haven't seen rain in 2 months it was bizaar. Then the lightning and thunder came it was actually quite scary but then it stopped.
Started getting ready and went for a meal with Sarah Troy, Gillian, Hazel, Kathy and. It was nice to see Sarah and good to finally meet the famous Troy. Went to a bar in Surfers which was nice not cheap. We all looked back on the tour of Perth to Broome and I think I began to realise what a brilliant tour it was. Unfortunately I just didn't enjoy it as much as I would now as I was so homesick and ill. Left each otherabout 10:00 and arranged to meet up Thurs. A lovely evening!
Tuesday 9th October 2007- Beach
Had a lie in went into town and did some shopping then went to the beach. Enjoyed the waves and lost my bikini top a few times which amused me. Kathy was still at the room!
Got to know the group in the room some of the people went for the $10 meal at Melbas the 4* restaurant down the road. We stayed in and had fruit sald and cheese bagel. Spent the night chatting to the Scottish girls who had just arrived drank goon and hate chcolate. Had a fun night watched Dancing with the stars, All Saints and a programme about Myra Hindley. I actually really like Surfers there is a certain atmosphere to it. It has the beach with good shops and my hostel has a TV. I don't think Surfers is like Blackpool there are no over weight men walking around with there shirts off or people selling Australian flags, hats, towels and other tacky stuff or rock.
Wednesday 10th Ocotber 2007
Woke up and the weather was miserable. We were meant to be going to Wet and Wild but decided to go another day. Spent the day shaving my legs, painting my nails, eating watching trashy telly and reading my book. The first day in Oz where I have done nothing but stay in and laze. Might go out for a few drinks but the weather is still rubbish. It is due to thunder and lightning soon. Probabaly when I'm walking home!
