Another of the things I wanted to do in Queensland was visit the Gold Coast, the famous beachside holiday destination. So today me and Kerryn drove off to Rainbow Bay, where we sat in the surf club looking over the beautiful coastline. It was lovely, on such a hot day, over 35 degrees, it was great to sit in the shade with a breeze and relax for the afternoon.

Today was probably one of the best days I have had on my whole trip. I joined Kerryn and her family on a waterskiing trip to a dam.

Today we headed into the city to meet up with Nick and Krissie (our Rotaract friends) in a Belgium Beer Cafe. With Beers in litres and pork belly on the menu you really can't go wrong. Well that was until Breanna (Kerryn's twin) ended up in Hospital with a migraine. I have never met a pair who spend so much time in and out of hospital. Luckily though all were home by...
