Because of ANZAC day we had one week off from school. These unexpected break terms gave some friends and I the opportunity for a vacation and so we decided about visiting Surfers Paradise.With a small hang over from the obligatory end of school party we caught a flight on Saturday to the Gold Coast. Against my nature (everything has to be planed and tracked) we went there without knowing anything about that place. But the first thing you had to learn about travelling with South Americans is “relax“ and so I did. Interestingly, that worked pretty well. We just moved step by step without knowing the next one and we met a lot of new people and asked everyone about nice places to visit. If we got a good recommendation we drove to the tourist information centre of that place and asked them about the local attractions.
I am assuming this way we have seen most of the attractions of the Gold Coast. On the day after arrival we picked up another friend and went to Brisbane. She was coincidentally at the same time in Surfers Paradise as us. On the other days we visited Byron Bay – the most eastern part of Australia – and the beautiful beach called Noosa where we rented a boat to explore the place by ourselves and do some fishing. Between these trips we had enough time to discover why Surfers Paradise has got it’s name. But that is another story …
