Hello all, Ok so after we left Brisbane (sob!) we headed very briefly down the Gold Coast. First stop was good old Surfers Paradise where we spent only the night as budget is quite tight now! It was a lovely day - we wandered around the tackyness of it all. To sum it up we would say it is a Magaluf kinda place where its nightclubs and horny teenagers everywhere. But even though we were only there for such a short time we actually loved it. Lovely restaurants an...

The airhostess/hostmen were really friendly and chatty with a well guided tour. We even got to go upstairs...on a plane!! Through Economy plus, Business and First Class - we have come to the conclusion we really are First Class ladies - we were told not to bother to work bu...
