Surfers Paradise - 29/31 October

From Brisbane down to Surfers Paradise, and as the Lonely Planet already said - Surfers don't go there much, and the paradise is a long way from there. Nice to see it though. Interesting experience for starters. Walked into the supermarket which had pepernoten and hagelslag, and the city centre had all the shops you can think of. Stayed at the YHA which was out of town, in Marine Cove, to get back to Surfers was about half an hour to three quarters of an hour walk along the beach, so I did that a couple of times :)

Next to having an outrageous amount of holiday/family parks, fortunately there's more to do in Surfers, like the Federation Walk, which was a walk up the Spit/Main Beach (7.5km return trip) Once at the end of the split you get a nice view of Surfers from the end of the jetty. Was bloody hot walking there, and turned out to be the main 'dog' beach, but fun nonetheless!
