Gold Coast - Part 3

Saturday was a lethargic day. We decided to spend the whole day in the beach, in the waves that we never get to see in Adelaide. We first went shopping for some swim clothes to protect us from the sun and then entered the beach with a million other people. Looked like the whole of Brisbane was in Gold Coast! The water was rough and required the presence of lifeguards. We went under and over the waves, played some beach volleyball and got thrown out a few times, all to our excitement. By this time we were getting hungry and hence decided to walk back to our apartment to have a quick lunch. The guys made wonderful sandwiches while the women were taking a shower and then it was the women’s turn to setup the table and clean it later. The lunch was very relaxed and was one of the best moments of the holiday. After a bit of a siesta, we got ready to go back into the beach. The waves were even rougher in the evening and the safe area to be in the water was becoming smaller and smaller. That did not dampen our spirit and we continued jumping in and out of the waves. The life guards sent out a warning that they were leaving at about 5 in the evening and that is when we realised that most people had left the water. We got out and went to our apartment’s sauna, swimming pool and spa. We did a tour of these 3 places in that order about 3 times and then decided that it was time to have a shower and choose a place for dinner.



The cuisine chosen for Saturday night was Lebanese Kebab. We had wraps and strolled around to check out the night life. The place was pretty crowded and the parties were on. We wanted to have an early night since we had to drive to Brisbane the next day, so we came back to our apartment, chatted for a while and then hit the bed.
