Caught the Greyhound bus to Surfers Paradise which is on the Gold Coast. The weather cleared up as we arrived and we sat on the beach for most of the afternoon. Went to the local craft market along the beach tonight after a yummy Italian. Alot of the hostels we stay in have really crap kitchens which suits us. We can't be bothered battling for the pot and pans with our fellow backpackers so we dine out!!!
