GOLD COAST 5

Travelling around the Gold Coast can get exhausting with a family on foot so I figured we had to hire a car to get around in. Dragging myself up early in the morning I headed over to Avis car rentals where I signed the papers to hire a car. Just as I signed the papers it started raining. Thank god I have wheels now haha

Since it was raining the beach was pretty much out of the question. So I figured I should take the oldies shopping at Pacific Fair - one of the biggest shopping centres at the Gold Coast.

After a short drive we arrived to walk around and of course get abit happy snappy:



All that walking around really worked up an appetite. We headed to the food court for some fatty burgers. It was a good decision at the time ok?

Since it was raining we figured we should go visit a cousin that lives here that we haven't caught up with yet. Plus we also wanted to see Billyboy's son. Billy is our dog back in Sydney. When the female gave birth my brother took one of the pups up to QLD and gave it to my cousin.

As we were driving to my cousin's house I spotted "Christine's corner". It looked like a small shopping villiage. Too bad I was driving and couldn't get a photo in time.

So we arrive to my cousin's house to be greeted by Billyboy's son. This is the first time we saw him and we were really shocked to see they were practically identical.

After a quick coffee session we decided to head to Burleigh Heights. Burleigh Heights is a small beachside town near Surfer's Paradise. We barely got to walk on the beach when the rain started again. So after a few photos we raced to the nearest coffee shop for another coffee. Yes I know my heart will be skipping beats tonight.

We waited for the rain to ease up but it didn't seem to want to go away. Eventually we got up to head back to the apartment for a night in with a DVD. Now that we had a car we could plan daily road trips!
