Running around in the Land of Oz

So there you have it, a brief peek into our little long-awaited, truly deserved and utterly enjoyed vacation. There are of course lots more that we did but we spent A LOT of our time at these theme parks mainly for the enjoyment of the children. Next round, it's going to be for the adults. But there were other places that we would like to talk to you about mainly Surfers Paradise and our apartment. We spent most of our evenings at Surfers Paradise since that was the only place that was opened after 5.30pm. We did try to head out to Robina Town but the place was a ghost town by 7pm.

I took these pics below because I was curious to see how many pants and shoes were crossing the road on their own without anyone in them and I was trying to goad this man into racing with our van. He was too cool to be enticed.


Below are some pics of our apartment which was very clean, orderly and super comfortable. We had all the comforts of home...except for a maid. The view was gorgeous as it overlooked the Nerang River where there are parks along side it as well as a marina.


We have a heated pool as well though I never used it since there can be 4-season weathers in a day in Australia. Even better, there was a washing machine and a dryer. Luckily Melissa is doing the laundry else our place will just stink of 5-day old clothes!

Surfers Paradise was a little township with nice condos by the beach and lots of souvenir shops and food with fries. 7-Eleven in GC really sold everything, including petrol!

On the last day we found a Malaysian Chinese restaurant and IT WAS HEAVEN!!! Luckily there wasn't any banana leaf place else I would have been on it like a fat kid on a Snicker bar!

So there you have it. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did in bringing it to you. Feel free to drop me a line if you need any info that I can help you with. One last thing, buy some cup noodles and stay away from the fries.
