I'm back from the sunny but not humid gold coast! A super fun, exciting & relaxing holidays i should say. Brisbane central & gold coast was simply awesome! Took tonnes & tonnes of photos, can u imagine we took a total of 900 plus photos. Weather in brisbane was soo cooling, though it's sunny but we din sweat at all. It's like in an air-condition room even when we are at outdoors. It was soo soo cold at nite & in the early morning.. it's more like winter than autumn. So shiok! Everywhere in brisbane is fast food, fast food & more fast food outlets till we got sick & tired of eating burgers & fries. And we miss chinese foond so we seek for chinese restaurant at surfer's paradise for our dinner after having junk food for the first 3 days. Ppl there are soo friendly or maybe because we haven't met any racist yet.. i don't know. But ang mohs are nice & friendly ppl who would greet us & take photographs with us. Surfer's paradise was so heavenly.. simply love it there! Never seen such a beautiful beach before.
Pictures speak a thousand words.. see for urself hw much fun we had at Brisbane. It may take quite awhile for the photos to load, pls be patient. Below are jus some of the pics, to view the rest of the pics visit my fotopic http://huanghuiwen.fotopic.net/

Day 2: Sunshine Coast Expreience Tour
Our first day at gold coast! Have to wake up super early today to take a 1hr plus coach to sunshine coast wher we visited Australia Zoo, Big Pineapple, Superbee Farm & Underwater World. Saw alot of aust animals, koala, wombat, kangaroo, crocs & lots more other animals at the zoo. And we met Steve Irwin, the crocodile hunter & his wife at the crocs show. Then went off to Big Pineapple & Superbee farm but nothing much there. Last destination of the day was to underwater world but we din went in & just roam ard tat area & went for shopping. At nite, we went to sufer's paradise for dinner & of course we went to the beach for awhile. The first time we set our foot onto the beach, the sand is soo soft & fine, it's just like stepping onto cotton wool. I got to know abt surfer's paradise from a tv program featuring roxy pro competition last year. I fell in love instanly with the beach, the endless stretch of beach & border-less sea is wat i fell in love with.

Day 3: Dreamworld
The first world we visited was Dreamworld. There are so many rides & so little time, we din have time to finish all the rides. Tower of terror & the giant drop was simply too scary, of course we were too afraid to play these rides. But we did play other thrill rides as well like the cyclone, mine ride, rocky hollow & etc.. we got ourselves all wet while playing rocky hollow but it was super fun! Dreamworld was the one i had most fun in cos we played lotsa rides in the park. At nite we had dinner at a chinese restaurant & then went to the nite market along surfer's paradise. And the nite market was very interesting, all the things sold on the nite market was made by the stall-owners themselves. There are so many creative items there.. bought a few photo frame & other stuffs from the market.

Police Academy Stunt Show which feature action & live stunt with high falls, huge explosions & car chases was awesome! Simply great! took pic with alot of characters like catwomen, batmen, austin power & bugs bunny. And then there's this all star parade which feature warner bros characters who will do a street parade. In the evening we went to sufer's paradise again & this time round we took lotsa pics while the sky is turning dark. The sky is so colourful, it looks like rainbow.

Day 6: Surfer's Paradise & shopping
We went to surfer's paradise in the morning, the view of the beach was the most beautiful in the morning, clear blue sky & yellow sand. Magnificent view! We met a aust man on the beach whom we called him Mr Pepes, we gave him this name because he taught us hw to catch pepes (aso known as lala in sg). We had soo much fun catching pepes, eileen & i each caught two as well. Ming & David got themselves all wet catching the pepes & we caught alot, most were caught by Mr Pepes. Bought those pepes back to our hotel & place them all into our hotel sink with seawater. When the pepes are in their own environment they will open up their shell. Left the pepes in the hotel & we took bus to Harbour Town for shopping. Bought alot of things from harbour town, bags, clothings, flip flops & etc & i bought a rip curl bikini for $20 only. haha.. so happy! Went back to our hotel to place our things down as well as to change the seawater for our pepes. And then we are off to Pacific fair for shopping again, not much things to shop ther. Harbour town is better.. after shopping we took the pepes to a chinese restaurant & ask them to cook for us. It was soo soo delicious! Yummy! I got myself so tanned after basking under the sun for a couple of hrs catching the pepes.
Surfer's Paradise is so heavenly~~
Nce view~
This is hw the pepes look like after cooking them.. delicious rite?
Day 7: Home Sweet Home
Our last day at gold coast~ Wanted to go to the beach with dear one last time but it was raining. So we din went.. had breakfast in our hotel & then went to walk ard the shops near our hotel. Eileen & david are still sleeping in the hotel so only the both of us. We went to bought some scratch & win card for $1 each, have to find the same dollar value 3 times & win tat amt. So we scratch & scratch.. we won $2 which some of the cards & there's one card which we won $22AUD.. haha. So happy! Lucky us! Went back to the hotel rest awhile & pack our stuffs for the last time & we were off to the train station on a limo. Took train all the way to brisbane international airport & check in our luggage. Had lunch at red rooster & then we board the plane. It was the end of our holidays! A wonderful holidays we had at brisbane~
