1st Day of Gold Coast Trip

It's very exciting to be on board soon! This is my 2nd time to travel oversea with wife. Even we can't go Japan this time, but we plan to go there in future.

On board soon!

Waiting to be on board

Reach gold coast early morning, people there is very nice. They like to greet you or smile at you. But I found I have communication problem with Australian. How come they can't understand my English? Weather is just nice. About 20 degree Celsius and windy all the time.

You can see this bug anywhere.

The bird is also anywhere in Gold Coast.

Stay in the Grand Chancellor hotel. It's quite nice. Just that they didn't provide free Wifi la... Malaysia is very good leh, anywhere we can found free Wifi.

Reception of Grand Chancellor hotel

Having our lunch in an Italian restaurant. Can't find any special dining place around our hotel. Mostly western food, plus some Thai and Japan food. Food is normal, but expensive convert to RM. A simple lunch cost us RM 60++ just a pizza, a spaghetti and glass of soft drink. Bottle drink there is very expensive. I found the cheapest is RM 10.

Dinner time we take bus to the furthest stop and have a great meal there. Western style also. Luckily they have half price promotion that night. Cost RM 100++ after discount.

Last stop near Twin Towns

Nice restaurant. Have a great dinner here

Chicken chop for dinner

My favorite drink - Hot Chocolate

Found this restaurant near my dinner place. No wonder it is close, having this name by seaside in this period.

We don't have any plan for 1st day here. We just walk around the city, take public bus tour, and go for a stroll at beachside during night. The wave there is very furious. That's why they called surfer paradise. Gold Coast has 70 km long of beach. And the water is clean and clear.

Big wave by seaside

Night scene at seaside

The beach is beautiful even at night. Some people strolling by seaside.

Just found that I will have airsick if the flight is more than 5 hours. It's very suffering.

Stay tune for 2nd day...
