gold coast, australia

9D gold coast + brisbane & tangalooma island
date: 19-27 oct 2012
weather: autumn / 19-23'C (turns out to be 13-15'C)

life was so easy in gold coast without working.. i wish i could roll back the clock! the temperature is very cold in gold coast during this season (much colder from what i've expected...) it has been a little bit late to start writing this blog now, after 2 months i'm back from gold coast...

i close my eyes and the months begin to move in reverse, slowly ticking backward, like the hands of a clock rotating in the wrong directions. the sceneries begin to change from a hot tropical country where i am living now... to the world's longest coastline... YES ~ here am I .... SURFERS PARADISE ❤ it was a cooling day when we touch down, the sky was absolutely clear...

australians are pretty friendly, people waved from their cars whenever they saw someone on the street whether they knew him or not, and the air smelled of salt, sand and sea....  soaking in this beautiful gold coast, though the hotel tv only had a few tv channels came in on the television, though television was never important to me during this journey.... this is because i was staying on the 30th floor.. the view was a breath taking one ❤

hot air balloon + o'reilly's vineyard champagne breakfast
this is my first hot air balloon experience... we float gently over the spectacular gold coast hinterland, 3000 feet above the ground... the view was spectacular !
