Gold Coast

We are back in Melbourne! Gold Coast was fun although it was expensive. We went exploring on public transport and we are quite proud of ourselves! Like we could find our way around. Queensland is supposed to be the "Sunshine State", but it was raining the first two days we were there! It was really dreary. We thought we were never going to see the sun! We were hoping for weather that was different from Melbourne. On the third day, the sun was finally up and we felt so much happier! Winter is really depressing! We need the sun!

We stayed at this place called Trekkers. It is a hostel and we had to share toilet with the other occupants! It is really an experience! One night, we even went to buy roasted chicken and salad from coles for dinner! But it was the best dinner of the trip cuz we were really hungry, wet and cold! So pitiful right?

The theme parks were fun! We visited Movie World on the second day while it was still raining, but we managed to get on most of the rides! Eunice enjoyed Scooby-doo the best. The ride is in a dark studio because its supposed to be scooby-doo scary. The highlight of the ride is the part where we moved backwards down a slope! Its really something I haven't experienced on any rides.

I really liked the batwing spaceshot which lauched us up and drops us down. It was cool because there is a point of zero gravity. We were floating in the air! I also really liked Lethal Weapon, because the seats are the suspended ones which are really cool!

We also went to Wet and Wild! It was a nice sunny day, but it was sooo windy! Which meant that it was COLD. Eunice couldn't take it after three rides because it was cold and so she went to shower and change. After she came back, I went on another two rides before I surrendered to the cold too! But it was really fun because I haven't been to a water park with water rides before! I really enjoyed the rides on the floats and I liked the one where I slide down the water slide headfirst, on this mat. Haa, I'm really a mountain tortoise!

All in all, the trip was fun because Eunice and I got to hang out and have fun!
