We arrived in Surfers Paradise and checked into our hostel by midday. Again the weather wasnt very good so we went to explore the town and then went for a couple of drinks. Ended up chatting to these hilarious lads from down south for the afternoon and went for pie and vegetables in and Irish bar!
Our hostel does a pub crawl every night and Charlotte was meeting us at the hostel at 8:30pm to tag along as we get free entry into clubs and 3 free drinks. Unfortunately as it was good Friday all the bars closed at midnight and didnt open again until midnight on the Saturday! The upside was that we spent no money as we barely had time to drin our 3 free drinks before we had to go home.
The next day me and Gem went to Dreamland theme park. we thought it would be ridiculously busy as it was Easter but thankfully i think most people were put off by the weather. It didnt actually rain once and we got to go on everything a couple of times so it was a good day. The bet rides were the giant drop (which has the biggest freefall in the southern hemisphere) basically you get pulled up a tower, suspended for 30seconds and then there is a 5 second free fall to the ground. The first time we went on it i lost my breath it was that scary, but the 2nd time was a lot better. The other big ride was the Tower of Terror which shoots you out of a tunnel at 156km per hour and up the side of the Giant Drop and then drops you back down backwards into the tunnel. i think that was my favourite ride!
Once we got back to Surfers we went for a nice easter meal and then headed t bed and we are going back to Brisbane tomorrow to meet Adam and Claire again (from Ko Tao).
Brisbane
Arrived in Brisbane but had checked into a different hostel. Bunk...which wasnt actually much better. We quickly showered and went straight out for some nice food. We met u with Adam again (claire couldnt come as she was working all weekend). Ha another good night and another hungover trip, this time to Sydney, the next morning!
