A week in to our downunder adventures, and the ongoing internet issues were starting to irritate Chaggie. We found out we had to ring an outside company who supplied the internet but they never answered their phones. The Receptionists had no idea what to suggest, apart from the fact we could go to MacDonalds and use the internet there instead of paying for it in our appartment! Brilliant, however, MacDonalds didn't have power sockets in their internet areas. This was a real problem for Chaggie as their laptop batteries lasted about 10 minutes, when fully charged. With the internet people promising to call back, Chaggie then decided to check out the outdoor pool facility. It was freezing.A strong point for the day was going out and of course making sure we were fully stocked on beer for the week. VB (Victoria Beer) was our decision, a strong tasting beer said to be Australia's best.
Finally at about 12:00pm, we finally got through to the internet people ('Allegro' -watch out for them). They said all we needed was a Modem, which typically our room didn't have. We asked reception if we could have one, they supplied us with one (after a couple of hours (we had to wait for the i.t guy to get off his lunch break)), but then after ringing up Allegro again, we found out our room wasn't able to have internet! Why couldn't the resort tell us this before!!??
In between getting through to Allegro and getting our Modem, Chaggie had enjoyed their first visit to the famous Gold Coast beach. A very enjoyable few hours, which were spent sun bathing, then enjoying the huge waves that regularly crashed into the shore. Things were looking up!
After finding out we couldnt use the modem in our room, we asked reception if it was possible to move to a room with internet access, however we had to wait till this morning (16th Nov) to find out if we could.
We decided to then chill out and watch an epic film - Seven Pounds - before having dinner which was Chicken Wings with Chips! After dinner we watched G.I Joe.
