Adventures Abroad in Australia 2014: Gold Coast!

In Gold Coast, us four girls were staying in Matt's childhood friend's apartment. So once we got off the train, we had to take a bus, and then catch a tram to their apartment. We walked for a few minutes and then found the apartment. It is such a nice place. They were studying for finals, so we didn't want to distract them too much, so we dropped our bags off and then went to the beach. Oh my, it was such a nice day. Gold Coast is gorgeous. I really like it here.

At night, for dinner, we all decided to go to Hooters together to get to know each other. Us girls wanted to go because they had buffalo chicken, and you can all guess why the boys wanted to go! Although the one roommate Jack was at the library, Ian, Will, and us four girls all went out to dinner. It was so delicious. I had a buffalo chicken sandwich with curly cheese fries. Oh my it was so good. Also, Will and I shared fried pickles as an appetiser!

The next two days, us girls decided to go to Surfers Paradise beach and spend the day there. It has been such nice weather, especially for the beach. Besides just laying out at the beach, we walked around town and went into the different shops. We found a mall, and walked around there, and one thing that caught our eye was Build A Bear. They had a koala that you could stuff! It was so cute!

To end our relaxing break in Gold Coast, we ended the weekend with a bar crawl. It was called The Hangover Bar Crawl, and was based off of the movies The Hangover. We paid $40 for free VIP entrance to four clubs, and received a drink at each bar. Our first stop was Strikers, which was a bowling alley. We didn't get the chance to bowl, because all of the lanes were full, but we enjoyed ourselves there. We then went to Cocktails Nightclub. At this club, there were many different games and activities that the bar crawl ran. There were also two bridal showers, and one 18th birthday party (legal drinking age in Australia), so it was a fun night! After that was Sin City. This was my favourite of the three so far. It was really nice, and played great music. Our next and final stop was Vanity. Oh my goodness. I do not even have words for this bar. It was incredible. They just redid the women's bathroom and spent $2 million on it. They have hair dressers and make up artists that will do your hair and makeup. Theres chandeliers in the bathroom, couches, many mirrors, and so much more. It was amazing.
