After spending a day at Bondi beach, sydney.. we had an early night to prep ourselves for our early flight from Sydney to Gold Coast where we will be meeting Sam! Our flight was REALLY early and we got a cab to take us from our apartment from Bondi to the airport at 5am, really mad rush hahah didnt really wake up in time plus we did some last minute packing, it was really chuck everything in the luggage more than really packing anyway hahahaha 0.0"
Lol we both had the super sleepyhead look, so no photos!
Finally reach gold coast after our horrible hour long flight. We took jetstar and we were seated aaaaaaall the way to the back of the plane and there were a couple of crying babies and all it was pretty horrible. Lots of japanese seated at the back of the plane with us. Fell asleep cos i was so tired but in my sleep i can hear babies crying and chatty japanese talking non stop. OMG kill me.
Yay! we finally got to the Gold Coast Airport, met up with Sam and we took awhile to decide if we wanted to rent a car to get around in gold coast since we'll be heading to a couple of theme parks and it's usually quite a long drive and taxis aren't really cheap in Aussie, so we decided to rent a Kia Cerato Hatchback our time in Gold Coast!
We rented from the car rental company, Budget which was located just outside the gold coast airport customs, rented without insurance cos insurance was like a whole AUD$300 extra which wasn't really necessary i guess.
Lol don't think we'll be sway enough to get into an accident and it's not like we drive like "initial D" anyway.
So yay! OFF WE GO! Set off on the road with our cute little rented hatchback, 3 of us plus 3 of our HUGE suitcases, with google maps to navigate our way to our rented apartment at Surfer's Paradise.
Finally found the apartment after turning around the roads full of holiday apartments at Surfer's Paradise.
So we reached the apartment, the apartment manager showed us around the place, there's a pool, gym & suana facilities.. when i first entered the apartment i wasn't too impressed thou..
But when i really entered the living area of the apartment.. OMG WHAT IS THIS?!?!!?!?
REALLY REALLY REALLY?! HOW AWESOME IS THE VIEW?!
Really WOW-ed me.
Took the sofa bed so this was my view that greets me every morning when i wake up in the by the way. The sounds of waves crashing.. clear blue sky and the beautiful coast. How perfect is that?
It costed about 100AUD per night which was really cheap since we were sharing the apartment and splitting the cost.. you can search for holiday apartments in Australia at http://www.stayz.com.au/
It's pretty weird but nobody really stay in hotels at Surfer's paradise cos there's so many choices of holiday apartments, so much better than hotels.
We can cook ourselves with the kitchen in the apartment, free usage of washing machine and dryer (really grown fond of the idea of having a dryer while i was in Aussie. Love how my clothes are so waaaaarm freshly out of the dryer hahaha especially when it was so cold for me, I have super low tolerant for the cold.)
Washer & Dryer and a very clean toilet! *Thumbs up*
Kitchen area
Found this really interesting, Sam went to a nearby supermarket and bought some stuff to cook for dinner that night and he got this for breakfast the next day! Ready made M&M choc cookie dough, so you have to do is cut them and bake them and you get perfect yummy cookies. Woots!
Lol the apartment had a table full of shitload of tour brochures etc
Went to take a walk at the beach which was like.. 30 seconds walk away from our apartment building.
My life is complete. Hahahahaha
This seagull wouldn't stop staring at me! Don't it know it's rude to stare? haha I was just minding my own business reading my book on my kindle and enjoying the view and sea breeze yo!
Got annoyed by it because it kept walking nearer and nearer to me until it was like a footlength distance away from me wth, so i moved away and went to sit nearer to the beach. Kns kena chased away by a seagull lol i'm retarded.
Yay! Thoughout the trip i had Starburst Babies, i loooooove starburst babies. Muahahah so sick to eat babies i know but i got Jessica and Sam addicted too.
I honestly don't know how people can stand the coooooold!
Even when it's much sunny and warmer in Gold Coast as compared to Sydney i was still freezing and all zipped up in my warmest AERO hoodie. Told ya, zero tolerance for cold. Ended up catching a cold from chilling at the beach too much thou :x
Felt really idiotic when there are like topless dudes in front of me and all.
My perfect Day 1 in Gold Coast.
Loves, TheLuckiestchick.
