Day 8 - Beach Time!

Day 8 started with optimism. Chaggie rose at 08:00 and started to clear the appartment in the hope there would be a room change to one with Internet. Staggie went down to reception at around 09:30 to ask if it was possible. It was! And the new room would be room 302 which was directly below our old room, 402. The receptionist told us we had to wait till about 12:00pm for the room to be cleaned, we would be rung when it was ready. Chino decided to use the time before our move to use the gym in the hotel whilst Staggie caught up on the weekends football (good old fox). Chaggie waited, waited and waited. It got to 13:30 and Staggie decided to go down to reception to ask if the room was ready. Asking why there hadn't been a phone call, the receptionist thought we would have come down at 12pm, even though she was the one who said she would call us?! How annoying. However, Chaggie moved all their stuff down to 302 and after settling in, had lunch (tomatoe soup), before finally getting to the BEACH!

The weather wasn't as hot as it was yesterday, however, it was still warm enough to ride the massive waves that the Gold Coast has to offer! After taking plenty of photos and videos of Chaggie enjoying the waves, we then went back to the hotel at around 17.00 to jump in the pool before returning to 302 for showers, before uploading photos and preparing dinner. Staggie again cooked pasta for dinner, which was a huge success (of course).

After dinner Chaggie sat down to watch Fawlty Towers and The Vicar of Dibley. A frustrating start to the day was ended with a cheerful ending! Thank goodness we have the internet back!!
