Well I arrived back in NSW today. I've spent the last 4 days up on the Gold Coast and it's been great! I got to see Penny (who I studied with in Tassie) who I haven't seen in about 18 months, so it was awesome to catch up with her! Sabine flew in on Wed night, so now I have more company up here which is wonderful! I spent Wed with Penny and she showed me around the GC.
The weather had been picture perfect, up until Thurs. It must be Sabine's fault. She bought the Melbourne weather with her! It's been cloudy and rainy since she got here, so all my bragging about the great weather makes me look like a liar really... But it hasn't been that cold, just not sunny. Thurs had sunny periods, but it rained yesterday and all today.
On Thurs, Sabine & I went into Surfers Paradise to go shopping and hang at the beach, that was really great. We rode the monorail at the casino too, which was not nearly as exciting as I remember it being!
Then on Fri we went to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary! It was lots of fun, we got to see some really interesting things, and we got to hold a snake, a baby crocodile, and feed kangaroos. I have so many photos to show you when I get back! After Currumbin we headed back into Surfers for dinner at an Irish Pub, then off to the Restaurant at the end of the universe (those hitchhikers fans will know what I mean)! It was the coolest place ever! They even served pan galactic gargle blasters!!!!!!! I wanted to buy one, but it was almost $40, so I didn't. :( But I did have a cocktail called '6 million pink flying saucers'. It had a glowing red neon cube and dry ice and a flashing glass! Sooo awesome! This place is so much fun! If you're ever in surfers you have to go! Then we headed off to a couple fo pubs to see some bands, then headed home to bed like old grandmas at about 11pm.
Mum & Dad, you're not going to believe this, but by 9pm these days I'm stuffed and just want to go to bed. I've become a granny! What's going on?!!!
Anyway, I'm back at Ian & Dot's now and I'm off to do my show again bright and early tomorrow morning. Until next time, bai bai!
Okaaaay!
What was the after effect?
Maybe you should have sacrificed Sabine to Edwin Maher in hopes of improving the weather.
Sounds like you had a ball! Y'know, I almost rather those warm days minus the sun. Mmm... In fact, my favourite days are when in rains a stupid amount for a short period of time, then it clears up, then it pours again.
Mmmm... tropical rain...
