Surfers Paradise at Gold Coast

---

Surfers Paradise seems to me like a mix och Las Vegas and Miami. Althought I haven't been in Miami so it might not be like it or maybe is just like it?
Surfers has a beach, shopping, clubs, bars, amusement parks in abundance and the southern hemisphears tallest residential building with an observation deck at 230 meters, so I am guessing it beats the tall residential building "Turning Torso" in my hometown Malmo, hehe.

Funny enough I didn't during my 7 days in Surfers go swimming in the ocean at all, haha. It seems I have seen and been at enough beaches and not impressed anymore.

My days were filled with walking around, visiting Coolangatta, reading one of the great books I found in Brisbane, going to the amusement park DreamWorld which has mostly rollercoasters, but also some animals and even a constant wave machine.
Also one day I celebrated my birthday and realised I am almost a third of a century old! Thats heaps of years as the aussies say. However, any reason to celebrate is good so went with my recurring travel buddy Eveline to amusement thing Infinity, made mexican food, baked a chocolate cake and went to the club Bedroom.

Q1
The tallest residential building in the southern hemisphere

Extreme body boarding
Waves got reflected againts a concrete wall and together with other waves coming in created monster waves :)

DreamWorld !
Time to stand in line...again and again ;)

Another jump after meat in the air
Looks though that things could go just a bit wrong if the little kitty actually lands on someone...

FlowRider
Perhaps an easier way to learn surfing

The Vortex with me somewhere
It felt like what it looks like and I was even upside down for a while against the wall and didn't fall down due to the fast spinning

Rainy departure day
Can't even see the top of Q1 building
