Aug 8, 2009 - Glittering Gold Coast

Burleigh Heads and the Gold Coast - including Surfers Paradise! Sunday 26 July. ... Loading all our accumulated stuff into the car does not take too long and soon we are heading South down the Pacific Highway to the Gold Coast. ... We are both relieved to find the keys in the night safe as expected (as the rental office is closed on a Sunday) and at our apartment block the allocated underground car parking space is a joy.Burleigh Heads and the Gold Coast - including Surfers Paradise!

It rained and rained all night so we were surprised to wake to sunshine. They also noted that they have never seen a 3 year old eat as much as Miranda!!!! She always was eating whenever they saw her!! We drove on, passing the outlet for Byron Bay Cookies and arrived at the Gold Coast near 11am. ... We finally got away and headed to The Gold Coast Holiday Park, a top tourist cp. ... This cp was opposite Movie World so perfect spot for the theme parks!!! We unpacked and I then helped Sara and Rhiannon make a chocolate mud cake with white and milk chocolate.It rained and rained all night so we were surprised to wake to sunshine.
