So, I know I'm a bit late on this one, but I've been really tired all week.
Anyway, Thursday (7.) we went to Australia for a long weekend. It was a really nice trip, with a lot of fun.
We started off driving to Auckland, which took about 6 hours. Then we flew to the Gold Coast. As we arrived we started out with a too small car. We're 6, but the car they gave us due to an error, only had room for 5 people. After some arguing, and a look on our economy, we were off, a little cramped though. When we finally arrived at our apartment, we had some trouble with our keys, that didn't seem to fit very well in our door, but after a few minutes turning and switching, we finally got in. It was quite a big apartment. We had 2 balcony's, and some nice big rooms. From our top balcony we could see the Q1 building, which is the worlds 3. tallest residential building. We lived quite close to the beach, but due to too big waves (or something like that) the beach was closed (even though the beach was called Surfers Paradise).
2. day we went to DreamWorld, which is a theme park. We had quite a lot of fun, but at the end of the day, we were quite tired and sore everywhere. The same night we went to a local market. I ended up buying a book cover for my art book in leather (because I've started drawing quite a lot, and it looked really cool!).
3. day my host-mom was sick, so the 5 of us went to White Waterworld, which is a part of Dreamworld, but as the name states, it's a water park. It was quite a lot of fun too, but due to the lack of employees they had, they had 1 person to work 2 rides, which just made the lines long, and uncomfortable.
4. day we went to White Waterworld again. This time with my host-mom, who felt a lot better. They still had the same problem, so at lunch we decided to go to Dreamworld instead. once again, a fun day.
5. day I found a nice little Danish restaurant, and had a REALLY good breakfast there. it was some quite good food, but it made me realise how much I've missed hard boiled egg. After a nice breakfast we went to a shopping mall, where to policemen thought Joe and I looked really suspicious, so they stopped us to take a "talk" with us, which more seemed like an open threat about not doing anything we weren't allowed to (involving quote: "there are lots of cameras around, so we can look out for you, and make sure you behave")
The flight home was quite pleasant. but we took off at 5, and due to our financial state, we didn't get food on the plane, which I am used to do, but it okay. After a rather long drive home, I could finally throw myself in my bed at 6 in the morning.
All-in-all, it was a quite good weekend.
I'm out
