Surfers Paradise

Surfers Paradise

Arrived in Surfers Paradise and was recommended to stay at the Sleeping Inn by quite a few people i had met along the way so i stayed there , wasnt the nicest of places but it had a pool was clean and small so it was pretty easy to meet people , the smaller the hostel ive found the easier it is to meet people . I got into my room put my stuff down and there was a couple of German girls Leoine and Helen ,whom i had at the time i had just said hi to and the usual where you from and names ( this will all make sense later in the blogs ) , i then went to go for a walk and see what Surfers Paradise had to offer , on the way out i met 3 irish guys who had just arrived also so the 4 of us went out for a look around ,now Surfers Paradise is not what i expected either , it was full of high rise buildings and luxury flats right on the seafront ,its the complete opposite to what Byron Bay was its a so commercialised here with all the big name stores like Armani Versace and so on , it actually reminded me a bit like Miami with the shops and fancy cars and all the wannabees , it actually has an area called Miami not far from Surfers so maybe thats why its called that because of the resemblence,that night we got some drinks and played some drinking games with the German girls and another couple of Irish girls that where staying at the hostel and then we went off to a club pretty pissed , i had actually planned to come to Surfers Paradise and take it easy for a few days but i was wrong as this place really wakes up at night and its really buzzing with heaps of clubs .The next morning feeling very very hungover one of the Irish boys woke me up and i couldnt for the life of me understand a word he was saying , so i got up anyway and asked his mate what he was saying lol they where asking if i wanted to go to one of the theme parks thats in the Gold Coast , i thought you must be joking as i want feeling the best and being thrown around on a rollercoater wasnt my idea of a hangover cure , but then they got on my case calling me soft , so i gave in and off we went , after the first ride we all knew it was a bad idea but it was good fun and these guys where really good craic , had a really fun day .

That night we where back on it again and playing drinking games pretty early ,these irish boys really can drink lol it was a pub crawl tonight and all the other hostels meet up and have one big party in a massive club , the night was pretty much a blur but i know we all had an awsome night again followed by a massive hangover. that day the Irish boys left and said i should travel up the coast with them , it sounded a good idea as they where good craic but i would be dead by now i think if i continued with them as they where good guys but they drank and drank and drank , so i declined and agreed to meet them in Cairns in a couple of weeks
