AUSTRALIA - Surfers Paradise (8)

20/2/06 - We arrived at Sufers Paradise in the afternoon and went to a campsite that had been recommended to us. It was only 1/2 hours walk to surfers Paradise and the beach is directly opposite the campsite so a good location. Surfers Paradise is suppose to be like Aiya Napa and not so nice! I didnt think that at all, the only thing that not so nice was the high rise building, but apart from that its very clean theres a great beach,great surf, lots of shops and bars. As soon as we arrived we headed to the beach for a swim. While Alex was swimming he got stung by a blue bottle Jelly fish. It looked as tho he'd been whipped on his back and looked so sore. We went to life guards and they sprayed Stingo on it. He was luckly because Blue Bottle jelly fish are not dangerous they give a nasty sting. That evening it rained for the first time since we've been in Oz, so we all huddled in the camper ate spaghetti bolognese and played cards.
21/2/06 - Our plan for today was to go surfing and Weeny to teach us. So we went to surfers paradise beach and hired a surf board for the day for $30. In the end it was just Alex and Weeny surfing because the sea was so rough and not so good for us beginners. Weeny was wicked he was standing up on the board loads. In the afternoon we had a look round the shops then headed back to the campsite. That evening it rained really heavily. So we stayed in the camper had dinner and drinks. At the moment we are travelling with a Alex and Amy and will be untill we get down to Syney. We are all having such a great time together, its a right laugh. They are both from the UK and live in Boltom.
22/2/06 - Today we all went to Warner Brothers Movie World theme park about 1/2 hours drive from surfers. They have a few other theme parks around surfers but this was the one we most wanted to visit. Its like an alton Towers but all the rides have a movie theme. The first ride we went on was batman 2 a stimulator ride, we got to see the actual bat mobile and boat used in the movie. We went on the lethal weapon ride which was a roller coaster, saw a shrek 4D Movie where we all sat in rows of seats that moved up and down and we had to wear special 3D glasses it was so good. We saw the police academy stunt show it was very impressive they picked out amy from the crowd to help which was so funny,the stunts were really good. We saw an Austin powers show, went on a scooby doo ghost train, a log fume with the steepest drop ive eva seen, we all got so soaked!Weenys, alex and amy went on the superman ride but i was too chicken! It goes from 0 - 700 kilometres in 2 secs and go upside down loads and it looks so fast! Weeny and alex loved it, amy hated it so just aswell i never went on. It was a wicked day out and after we left we drove down towards Bryon Bay.
