July 15th -- Off to the Surfers Paradise



Sunday July 15th saw us head off to the Gold Coast of Queensland and land in a place called Surfers Paradise. After a quick flight of just over an hour and a shuttle bus from the airport we were at our hotel in the heart of Surfers Paradise. We stayed at the Chevron Towers of Renaissances, a nice new complex of three 40 story residential towers, and we had a wonderful view of the beach just a block away.

Our first stop was hitting a local American landmark, the Hard Rock Cafe for lunch. Then it was off exploring the shops before we finally made our way down to the beach. The kids loved it running around and playing in the sand. They didn't go swimming but got there feet in the water, which was a lot warmer than the water in Sydney.
