Before heading to Springbrook, we went for a quick top up on supplies at the supermarket. We'd bought some apples for around $3, then we realised that the fruit shop near the supermarket sold the same apples for $1... time for Peter to step up and get us our money back. So he went back to the supermarket and found the customer service desk... 'excuse me but i apparently wern't meant to purchase these, any chance i can have my money back?' haha.

We sat for about 30 minutes just looking out at the still water of the ocean, so peaceful and lovely. Then just down the road to Agnes Waters we decided to have a couple of hours on the beach and watching some surfing. After about an hour on the beach we were covered in sand, a tad windy. By that time is was dinner time and...
