The Gold Coast...you like it or you dont. I must say there are a few things that i am not a fan of Gold Coast, however the positives outweigh the negatives.
The atmosphere is so different than up in Brisbane and it also feels like i am someplace else.
I haven't been down the Gold Coast for a long time ahh about 8 months ago. The last time I went to the Gold Coast was with my family during the June Long weekend on Labour Day. We stayed at Blue Waters Apartment @ Labrador/Southport area. It was really lovely. We also went to the Dinner & Show @ Australian Outback near Movieworld & the other show, Ray my brother n I watched Zingara @ Jupiter's Casino. It was a nice break from Brisbane and Redcliffe, despite the weather being raining most of the time down the coast. Anyway back to my previous....
Andy & I stayed at the coast from saturday 21st feb - Tuesday 24th feb. We stayed @ Labrador in an Apartment called - Sandcastles on Broadwater. It is a really good place to stay and wasn't too bad location. Esp when he had uni to go 2 on Monday morning.
Went to the coast as the 2009 Good Vibrations music festival was held @ the Parklands, Southport. The Line up were Fat Boy Slim, The Presets, Yelle, Kid Kenobi w. MC and many more. It was such a spectacular day and night and boy oh boy it was even exciting dancing in the torrential rain while Fat Boy Slim was playin'
I was smart enough to actually wear Gumboots. My feet were not brown and dirty from the mud...BUT once it rained...my feet were saturated from the water INSIDE my boots lol. I can never win hahaha.
At the end of the festival, parts of the parkland was flooded more like knee deep and of course some people took photos of them/their friends being silly in the water while others tried to avoid it on the way to the exit (and i say Andy & I were the ones Avoiding it!)
The next day Andy, Neil, Alicia & I went for a late breakfast/ brunch @ Aqua on Marine Parade, overlooking the waters & Sea World. Very relaxing to chill out with a couple of friends and had ice cream afterwards.
Then the rest was spending time w/ Andy.
All in all i enjoyed my stay down the coast. I really didn't want to go back home because of the sun, sand, beach and the whole atmosphere of being on a 'holiday' regardless it was short-break. I am even contemplating on going down the coast again for my next annual leave break (which is may/june). Somewhere to go besides staying home like i did the last time. *sigh*

LOL @ your feet still getting wet! Hey don't forget that in late June (26th or 27th), we are partying before Julie and I head off to Latin America! Hopefully you're not away on holidays at that time.
