Following on from Fraser Island we travelled to Brisbaine where we had a few hours to mooch around. I was very pleased to get a loyalty card for the chain of boost bars (they do the fresh juices and smoothies that I just love!) and Kate took us for a quick walking tour of Brisbaine before we went to the plastic fantastic the Gold Coast!

The Gold Coast. Surfers Paradise. Kelly's Paradise. Its a haven - I loved it! We got there and went for a night out to Waxys where the played cheesey music and everyone had a blast all together. We all got dressed up with a touch of mascara and straight hair and had the best night out. We had learnt some snorkle signs for 'are you ok' 'im ok' 'come and get me' 'help i need you' so we used these to communicate with each other which amused us completely and left others completely confused!

The following day we had a pool day where we just lay by the pool, we had a picnic lunch courtesy of Amy and Karen who went and bought it for us and it really felt like a holiday. I got some new tanning oil an a cheeky cocktail by te pool and that was all I wanted to do. Unfortunately I missed out on going to the Australian Zoo but I have seen enough animals and Im not to keen on them anyway!

Following this fab day we had another fab night out. This time we went bowling and to a kareoke bar. I got up and sang (of course!) and before I started th song gave a little speech about how the song I was about to sing meant a lot to me,I believe it represented me, I really could sing it from the heart and I use it as a little mantra to myself. A couple in the group were guessing 'walking on sunshine' or 'girls just wanna have fun' but I recruited Laura and off we went for my song........ barbie girl. Followig a good sing song and the actions to barbie girl we went to ladies night at sin city where it was free to get in and girls got free drinks all night . I went crazy - 3 full fat cokes!! I know Im crazy out here but Im completely off my booze!!
