Day 8 - by Brett
Had to put in another complaint about the Addams Family upstairs last night, it's their last night. Hallelujah! We had a bit of a lazy morning today, brekky on the private balcony, did some reading and played games on the other balcony etc. Went and had lunch at the beach, it was beautiful apart from the wind. It blew sand on my wich. Made it a sandwich. Went and got some coffees so we could look like yuppies. I drank mine with my little finger up. After that we went for a walk exploring around the area. Found a couple of lovely look outs high on the cliffs. Saw a lady having a photo shoot in a secluded part of the beach. Also saw a couple of white pointers. Laura wouldn't let me go any closer. All that exercise meant time for a swim. Which was a good chance for me to cool off after seeing the white pointers. After that we headed out for tea at Outback Jacks restaurant. I had the Skippy Dundee entree. Kangaroo and Crocodile skewers, delish! The boys bravely tried the crocodile, although I may have told them beforehand that it was chicken. Made sure to tell them afterwards that it was croc though. Priceless reactions. James knew what it was and still tried it though. We had ribs from three different animals, plus beautiful steak chips and slaw. We had to roll out of the restaurant we'd eaten that much. Not sure why we don't have something like that in Bendigo! Between all my brother-in-laws the place would do a booming trade. After that we took a driver through Surfers Paradise for the kids to look at the lights and watch some of the rides. No matter how much we encouraged her, Laura wouldn't go on the Vomitron. Wuss. On the way home I suggested that we could stop in at a local sports bar for a quiet bevy, but captain kill-joy wouldn't allow us. I think it's smart how Hooters now have a sports bar. Food, alcohol, sports, and um, hooters. The happiest place on earth - Disneyland for blokes. James asked Sargent Fun-stopper why we couldn't go in there. Her reply "Coz the waitresses have their boobs out!". James's retort "So?". I've never been more proud.
