A perfect getaway

This is most likely as good as it gets

Once you arrive, you'll soon feel that you have arrived in Paradise.

After our plane landed in Brisbane, we hired a car and drove to Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast of Australia. This is about an hour's drive and really is a wonderful place to take a vacation.

Even though it is winter time, the weather is desirable and while most of the locals were getting around in jackets, we spent some time relaxing at the beach.

'Surfers' as it is colloquially called has many high rise apartment buildings and the most gorgeous, wide white sand and surf beach. Walking along the beach, the white sand actually squeaks, ... it is made up of  clean, soft coral sand, where you can relax and soak up the brilliant sunshine.

About 10 years ago we stayed at Q1 and we enjoyed our time there, so this is where we rented an apartment again on the 35th floor,  Room  # 3504.

 I opened the windows from our room  and snapped photos of the City lights, at night and the view was really magnificent.

 Looking back towards the City and you can see the Ferris wheel

I'm back from my holiday and can honestly say, I am relaxed after my little break away.

Wishing you all a happy week

Hugs
