Surfers Paradise eh? Hardly paradise in mine and gareths eyes it has to be said!
After the bus trip from Byron, we checked into our hostel ("Cheers" - where everybody knows your name - wehey!) and went for a walk around the town and then the beach for a few hours! First impressions were that this town didnt really have a purpose - all of the high rise buildings were apartment blocks and hotels on a beach front! Then there were quite a few shops etc to look round but apart from that nothing much else...almost as if some bloke had a Field of Dreams moment..."If we build it, They will come"!
Had a quiet night then just went for an Italian and a round of golf! As most of you know my golf is pretty bad, so to win by 10 shots says something....Gar's worse - "Putting is the worst part of my game!"...Shame we are on a crazy golf course then isnt it Gar! Check the pics out!
Yesterday we got a bus to Wet n Wild water theme park - good fun, a bit busy as still school holidays here but we had a laugh going down numerous slides in big inflatables! Went out then in the evening to sample Surfers night life. We paid $20 to go on some pub/club crawl, had a few drinks and dance before making our way home....in the highstreet some local lad decides to call me n Gar f*****s then smacks me in the mouth before his mate hits me in the earhole from behind, then they ran off as im stood there laughing but also weighing up my options...didnt fancy a night in a cell as we had a bus to catch in the morning so i just left it!
That kind of summed up how we felt about the place - flattered to deceive really! 1 night would have been enough! Next stop...Brisbane!
