Day 9 - Surfers Paradise

This morning was an early start at Gold Coast, Chino got up at 06:00 and managed to get through to a few people on skype now that we finally have internet! Staggie rose at 08:00, breakfast was sorted and Chaggie were ready by 10:00 to catch a bus to 'Surfer's Paradise'. Taking only half an hour to get there roughly we got straight to it and headed for QDeck, the World's tallest residential building at 78 floors.

We bought our tickets at the desk and went through to the lift which also had World recognition of being the fastest lift reaching floor 77 from level 1 in 43 seconds approximately.

As we quickly reached the top we found ourselves outnumbered by a huge amount of Chinese tourists, as well as this there was a lot of fantastic views! The building has been made to show 360 views of Gold Coast. Chaggie made sure they took advantage taking lots of pictures.

After a while we were pretty certain we had seen enough of Gold Coast, we headed on down to the Beach. We got back to our appartment this afternoon at around 14:00ish, had lunch here to save some cents.

This afternoon Chaggie went to the hotels inclusive gym before hitting Burleigh Beach. Was getting late at this point, the sun had gone down so was pretty cold. Afterwards, both feeling very small, we thought we'd test the temperature in the outside pool, was nothing in comparison to the beach. We later hit the indoor pool at 38 degrees and the jacuzzi with a VB in hand.

This evening we have found ourselves with plenty of beer and only one day left, considering that we have to wake up early on friday morning it should be a heavy night tonight. So pretty annoyed that we've found our new oven doesn't work now that we've changed rooms, we're cracking open the VB and frying some sausages.
