Surfers paradise - well for one thing. I don't think it lived up to the "paradise" name. Maybe that's just my snobbiness coming through! But it was just full of really tacky people and reminded me of what I could only imagine Maga to be like. Was very thankful we only spent a few nights there! But we did have a few visitors from Noosa and it would be rude not to experience one night in tack city. So Jan, Shane, Brandi and I headed out. Fairly it wasn't that bad but think that's because it was easy to forget where you are when you're having a good time and in good company.
Can say with certainty I won't be returning to the Gold Coast any time soon!!
Time to visit the relatives - we went to coolangatta to visit Lorraine and co. Which was so lovely to meet them all. And was nice to be in a family environment for the first time in months! Dean took me up Mount Warning which is the tallest point on the east coast and was a 10k hike up... Which was a hell of a workout but the views
were definitely worth it! Then Ross and Annabelle took us to see Byron Bay and up to the lighthouse which is the most easterly point on the coast. (4 months in and was time to do some sightseeing!)
MELBOURNE - in all honesty...when we first arrived in Melbs it wasn't my favourite place and I wasn't a very happy bunny and was fairly grumpy throughout our first week (sorry corn!!) but by the end of our 2 weeks it grew on me completely, the city has such diversity! Brunswick had such a Camdeny feel to it. Bit gutted we didn't spend enough time actually enjoying it.
We decided to splash some cash and hit up the Australian open. But dear lord we couldn't have chosen a worse week to go. Melbourne was experiencing the hottest temperatures in over 10 years. NOT COOL. The day we went to the tennis it was 43 degrees and we were sweating like there's no tomorrow. It was disgusting, I don't think there was a part of my body that wasn't sweaty.
