The Gold Coast is an extremely popular tourist destination on the Pacific Coast of Australia. There are cranes in the skyline everywhere, all racing to build rediculously tall buildings offering instant walks to the beach, and impressive views. Apparently the world’s tallest residential building is being built here? You can own an apartment in it for somewhere between $2-9 Million Australian, and move in, in 2009!
Anyways, we have spent the last two days doing the tourist thing injecting theme park fun into our systems. Yesterday was spent at Sea World Gold Coast, and today at the Wet ‘n Wild waterpark. The Sea World offers a sampling of amusement park, aquarium, dolphin/sealion shows, and aquatic animals among other things. It was an enjoyable day in the sun. The waterpark was an offering of most waterslide types you could want, and includes an 8-person mat race slide, that gives you your race results on a scoreboard. Pretty neat.
Oh yeah, I forgot to say that last weekend we didn’t win the $19 Million Powerball lottery. But we did apparently match enough numbers to win $26.50! Yay!
