Well Surfers Paradise has come and gone, and here's to hoping all the bad weather is gone too. When we arrived Tuesday
evening it was dry so we did our all you can eat pizza night in our hostel, and then headed down to see the place at night. It was cool actually, so built up though. Not a drop of rain, until that night. And pretty much Wednesday and Thursday then
were wipe-outs. Wednesday was full of torrential rain and winds. At one stage myself and Gillian went for "a walk" in it.
I tell ya we were lucky not to get blown away! Seriously had we known how dangerous it was we may not have gone out. Some
people actually died jus from walking on the road. One guy died at his desk in work when he was pierced with some glass! And
another guy was hit by debris while walking along the street. The beach was distroyed from erosion as the waves hit crazy
meters in height. Well we didn't let the rain damper our fun, and Wednesday night we headed out on the famous backpackers pub/club crawl. Well lets just say only myself and Emma actually made it out ;-)
Thursday then was hangover day, but that didn't matter as the weather was still awful. In the evening though myself and Gillian went for a walk and met the Gold Coast Nine News weather reporters on the beach, so we were in our element when we got to get a photo pretending to broadcast :p haha it's the little things that make us happy!
Friday then (today) it really cleared up, thank god. So we headed to the Warner Brothers Movie World where we spent hours of fun checking out all the rollercoasters such as Batman and Superman. We went to a Shrek 4D show, and one of the highlights our our day was the driver stunt show. It was a mock hollywood drive stunt scene. And in it they drove on two wheels with the cars in a row, and ended with a car driving on two wheels on the top of the building and into another building just before it exploded! And it was some sort of real explosion too as we all felt the rush of heat! Definitely worth a visit if you're ever in Surfers.
And we ended our time here with a visit to the Hard Rock Cafe, and then onto O'Malleys bar for a nice cold Magners Pint bottle =D
Next stop Brisbane.
