lots of sunshine

on umm... it was a monday i think, well you know how it is on vacations that you can;t tell one day from another, that we left cold sydney for sunny gold coast. queensland- the sunshine state. yeah yeah...

walking around downtown

well my sis absolutely loves gold coast. think: stretches of gorgeous beaches, hot bods *wink wink*, and surf brands. haha. but i kinda prefer brisbane. anyway, most people go to gc for their vacations so it has this sorta 'holiday-like' atmosphere. which is fun because you know everyone's just out to have well, fun.

and i like like like the way the people dress there. the girls i mean. they wear lots of dresses which i heart (summer dresses especially). and skinnys and flats, print tees... really casual but nice. and since it's almost summer there, the clothes can be worn back here. so hehe, we kinda went a lil crazy buying stuff. and of course... sunnies! everyone there wears shades because the sun's really really bright and it's painful to not wear them.

recognize this store?

oh yeah, and the week we were there, they had the Indy, which is like F3 right in gc. which was a good and also a bad thing. the bad being a lot of roads were closed so you can imagine what the traffic was like. but the good part... aha! street parties, private parties and i heard that good charlotte and nicole ritchie were in town for for the after-race party. with the veronicas too.

v8 supercar. they race this and also the f1-type looking cars. the difference being all the cars in the Indy are manual.

came out from the grocery store in time to see this.

and this...

in the heart of GC is surfers paradise. which is kinda like, the town centre. to me it felt like that. hotels, nice shops... good food... plus it opens til about 10 because of the pub going crowd. so, more power to the shoppers.

yes, it's as beautiful as it looks. and the sand... my gosh the sand.... so soft and so fine

hotel we stayed in

my hotel was in the middle of surfers paradise so we're within walking distance with just about everything. shops and all... so much so that i knew my way about pretty well. not bad eh for someone who needs help getting around penang roads.

view from my room

we spent the most time in Gold Coast so, come to think of it, i do miss it quite a lot.
