Please forgive me if this isn't a very readable entry..i am feeling a little fragile today and i don't think my brain is working very well!
We have been in Surfers Paradise for the last 4 days (we r heading for Brisbane today, we r jus waiting for the greyhound bus now). Its good here...altho kinda like being on an 18-30's holiday..esp as we r staying in a very British hostel (called the British Arms) which is very loud and lary, and even has it's own chant (i won't tell u it...it's a bit rude and my mum reads this!).
Our first day here we went to Dream World which is a really big theme Park, that was a good day (altho the queues were long and i hate queueing!). One of the rides i went on was jus a massive tower with seats attatched to each side which take u to the top, it holds u there for a while and then u just drop!! It was brilliant, makes your stomache nearly come out your mouth..Love it!
That night we went on an organised bar crawl with our hostel and a few other hostels (there were hundreds of us all together). It was good fun, but as i said very much like an 18-30's hol, we played games and sang chants and generally got drunk.
The next day we went on a horseback ride throught the Australian outback, It was fab actually doing something a bit more australian than jus going out and sitting on a beach (altho it appears that is a very aussie thing to do too!). My horse was called Hans and was a greedy pig and wouldn't stop eating (did i mention they matched rider to horse by personalities?!).
We saw loads of nature and wildlife throughout the trek, including a wild koala!! Half way thru the ride we stopped by a fresh water lake (which we semi paddled in and saw a turtle) then we had bread and tea cooked on a fire. And then trotted our way home.
The next couple of days i beached it (have to save some money). The beach is gorgeous (no surprises there) but the sea is abslutley full on Blue Jellyfish, which r pretty harmless but really hurt if you get stung. So i only went in the sea a couple of times as it was too scary!
Last night we went on the Bar crawl again (hence the fragile state!) and thats u all up to date!
