G'day ppl just thought i would post up some pics of our recent trip up to the Gold Coast and mention some of the hi-lites and low-lites.
Well firstly we stayed at the chevron towers, well I will just say the next time we come up we may as well look for some "skungie" back packers hotel and save some money. Having said that it was a conveniently located with a shopping center right at the bottom of it. If you are planning on doing the theme parks take some decent walking shoes as there is HEAPS!!!!! of waiting and walking and be prepared to pay an arm and a leg for food and beverage ($4.50 for a water). IMO sea world is the best as I am not much of a ride person and I REALLY enjoyed the dolphin and seal show the were amazing. having said that the new dinosaur world, well there isn't much of one at all was not impressed. Movie world was really well done all the characters were pretty well done up. I must admit as much as I hate roller coasters I did enjoy the scooby doo ride. I also really enjoyed the aqua duck which cruizes along the river was informative and funny. I also wanted to give a huge shout out to Super Slice Pizza on Orchid ave two doors down from the police station. the best pizza I have ever had!!! I have to let you all know that yes the shop is part owned by a very close friend of my brother in-law but even still if I didnt think it was I would not have mentioned it. All in all even though the first 4 days were crappy weather we had an awesome time and it is a beautiful place with mountains on one side and beaches on the other.
