Surfers Paradise

Today we went south down the Gold Coast to Surfers Paradise, so that Ellie , Emma and DM could get a surfing lesson. Surfers Paradise is a 21st Century Blackpool, whos main attraction is the fantastic rolling ocean, but other than that it is a rather tacky mix of cheap souvenir, ice cream parlours and fast food outlets , Club 18-30 really. The kids had a great time , and we did manage to find a lovely Italian Cafe for a Cappucino, and we joined and signed into "The Queensland Surfers Club" Established 1927 where we all had a nice lunch. The evening was a quiet affair with the kids tired after all their exertions. Unfortunately it was made memorable by DM's neighbour coming to the door and announcing she had clobbered his Ford Ka car in the car park under our appartment.
