How to Holiday in the Gold Coast Part 1
Blogging this from the back of the bus headed to Dreamworld.
We’ve so far had a grand time here on holiday in the Gold Coast, Australia. We landed on Sunday morning and explored Surfers Paradise for the day. Some photos and comments below:
We booked a 2-bedroom apartment at Surfer’s Beachside Holiday Apartments, and upon entering the room and seeing the spacious rooms and pristine ocean view, jumped around and screamed excitedly for about five minutes!
Going for a run up and down the main beach is a great way to explore and savour the sights: I got street-level views of Surfers, Main Beach, the Gold Coast marina and Broadbeach over a 16 km run.
We caught up with our maternal granduncle, who promptly took us to Ashmore Rd Steak and Seafood for a crazily filling meal/banquet. The cows in Australia must be bigger because we got ourselves huge steaks!
We followed them to meet our aunt-once-removed, whose husband whisked us on a thrilling night cruise of the Gold Coast Waterway on his luxury yacht. Following that, Rick took us around the Marina Mirage and treated us to some chocolate treats. A testament to generous and hospitable relatives.
And that was just the first day!
