Gold Coast: Surfers Paradise & Harbour Town (GC14 Part 5)
Gold Coast, 2014
Woke up real early but the sun was already way ahead of us. And it was only 5.30 in the morning. We were in Gold Coast for 4 days, but have yet to be at the beach. So this morning, we were going to Surfers Paradise!
Surfers Paradise
We were among the very few to be at Surfers Paradise this early. People are not as crazy to leave their bed at this hour. The beach would be more crowded in the afternoon. When we reached Surfers Paradise, to our disappointment the beach and its area were dirty with lotsa garbage. Food wrappers, empty cans and beer bottles were everywhere. And not just that, people were sleeping at the beach, with bottle still in their hand. Must be partying real hard last night.

Gold Coast: Dreamworld (GC14 Part 4)
Gold Coast, 2014
When we were planning the itinerary for Gold Coast trip, our main target was to cover the three main theme parks, but the challenge was to squeeze all these three within five days. Not everyone in our group shares the common interest. So we need to plan what's the best for everybody.
On our 4th day in Gold Coast, we planned to go to Dreamworld just the two of us. We let the rest to choose their own activity of the day. As there's just the two of us, we got all the time to ourselves and be straight to the point. No kids, no stroller and no side track. Only me, him and roller coasters. Total freedom!
We arrived early to the front gate and there were already bunch of people waiting for the park to open. There are too many gates and counters with different queues for different types of ticket. So we were a bit confused. After asking around, we found out that the ticket we bought online need to be redeemed at a counter for real tickets (with bar codes). So this process pretty much delayed our entry for like 15 minutes. But it's still acceptable. Upon entering, we decided to go through all the roller coaster rides first and try to finish them by the 1st half of the day. Seems like a very cool and ambitious idea, right?

Gold Coast: Sea World (GC14 Part 3)
Gold Coast, 2014
It's the day to get up close with the sea life, in one of the popular spot in Gold Coast, that's Sea World! Well, I just wanted to see dolphins and ride on roller coasters. :)
Affinity - Dolphin Show
This is definitely a show not to be missed when in Sea World. You'll sure be impressed by how clever these sea mammals are. The length of the show was just nice and overall very entertaining. Arrive early to the show arena to secure a good spot. If you're lucky, you might get to become a volunteer to get up close and personal with the dolphins.

Gold Coast: Warner Bros. Movie World (GC14 Part 2)
Gold Coast, 2014
G'day, mate! It's roller coasters day today! Weehuu!
We're going to Warner Bros. Movie World! I actually wanted to be there before the park opens, but it's not easy to handle 10 people and be on time. Anyway, it was a hot day! Despite that it was weekday, people were still swarming the place. We then found out, it was Schoolies week. It's actually when the Australian high schools graduates just finished their finals and ready to partayy. So imagine teenagers who just got "freed" from school, full of hormones, loud, spreading everywhere around Gold Coast, and we were surrounded by them.

Gold Coast: Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary (GC14 Part 1)
Gold Coast, 2014
I should have been to this place loooonnggg time ago. But just until 2014 that I got to do so. Well, better late than never.
It was our summer vacation in the land down under. We took a very early morning flight to Coolangatta Airport, and arrived in the afternoon. After immigration and custom clearance (my first experience with an adorable airport dog), we called East Coast Rentals to pick us up from the airport. The staff then came and picked us up, and took us to the Tugun branch (only 10 minutes away from the airport). We rented two Nissan Almeras (pre-booked) to accommodate all 10 of us.
