December 28th - 31st Gold Coast, Australia

"Crikey"

Gold Coast, Australia is magnificent. Beautiful beaches, weather, and people gives this city a wonderful personality. The blazing sun during the day was something we both had to get use to after being in a humid country for a while. But the difference is clear once we stepped foot into Aussie.

We stayed in between Broadbeach and Surfers Paradise at the Crowne Plaza Surfers Paradise hotel. The hotel itself was great, very spacious room and friendly staff, however, it was a 20min walk to Surfers Paradise. Good thing is that the bus stops are right at our doorstep. We did a bit of walking on our first day and on the second day we went off on a tour to Noosa and the Sunshine coast. We stopped by the Australian Zoo home to the late Steve Erwin. Noosa was beautifully designed, is very much like Denman and Davie on a sandy beach.

We hopped on the bus which took us straight to the Currumbin wildlife sanctuary. There we played with Kangaroos and got a picture with Koala. Queensland is the only state where we get to hold a koala for a photo! Look how worried Blinky is when Susy is holding him.
