Had a bit of a joke with mum about the pelicans and how there was one lonely one on his own (we named him, but I won’t say what here).Then left Ballina and headed towards Tweed Heads. Took a few hours. Wished I had my iPod at this stage. Would be nice to escape some times...hehe! Anyhoo, finally crossed the QUEENSLAND border. YAY I FINALLY GOT TO QUEENSLAND!
Drove along the coast thru all the suburbs, Currumbin, Miami, Broadbeach and so on. Couldn't see any Kurts properties in Broadbeach. Used to work for them. We decided to go to the Pacific Fair shopping centre as it was only 9am (Queensland don’t have day light savings so we are an hour behind now) and we couldn’t check in to the apartment til 2pm. So we walked around there a while. I would love to go there on my own. We saw bugger all of it. Mum isn’t a shopper and poor Redda has bad legs, so didn’t see much at all. Ran into Suzy & Eric on their honeymoon, which is trippy cos mum & Redda went to their wedding down at Berwick last weekend. Went into Target and got a cheap MP3 player (the cheapest) so I can now listen to music again. Then Narelle (my 2nd or 3rd cousin) rang and we found out that mums 1st cousin Cliffy (Ral’s dad) was close by so we met him there and went and had a coffee and a chat. Were there a while then decided to come here to the apartment and see if we could get in early, which we could.
Where we are staying!!! NOT!!! HAHAHA!!
The view from our balconySo here we are in the apartment in Surfers Paradise. YAY! We are meeting Cliffy and Ral tonight for tea. Should be good. Right now mum is napping (she deserves it) and Redda is here watching the telly and I am about to go down to the computer room here and post this.....
I will post more when I can...... Chow for now!
Ok its now early Thursday morning but I’m going to finish day 3 before I start 4.
I went down to the computer and found it was just one internet pc, with no USB port. Damn. Mean s I can’t upload this here. So hopefully soon I can find somewhere to do it. We went for a walk down the street. There is a shopping centre not far down.
Hahaha Snort!!
The main street on Chevron Island
Heaps of trendy cafes and bars. We saw how the other half live. Got some grog then walked back. Sat down and had a wine with mum (I had no Pepsi to have a bourbon). Then just after 6 Narelle and Cliffy picked us up and off we went out to tea. We went to the Kurrawa Surfers Club. Had to wait for ages for a table. But sat at the bar and had a few drinks and chatted and caught up.
Mum and CliffyIt was pretty busy in there. Heeeeaaappps of people. One of the guys that works there who Ral knows name was Avon! (Ding dong...) lol!
NarelleTea was beautiful. Had a chicken burger and chips. Chips were yummo! But I’m a chippy freak and could live off them. When we left Narelle took us for a drive down the strip. I think she might be a lead foot like me (hehe). She pointed out the strip clubs, lol! I wouldn’t mind going for a walk down there during the day. It was raining by this stage. So much for all the nice warm Queensland weather I heard all about. We got back to the apartment and they left and we came in and went to bed.
