Today's been great fun! It's the Ekka holiday for Brisbane so I went down to the Gold Coast with Shane, Matt, Jen, Fiona, Yumi, Georgia, errr... sorry to everyone else, I forget your names! My memory's terrible... Pretty sure they were all from Citipointe or at least linked to Citipointe in some way. Anyway, we piled into a few cars and like I said, cruised down to the Gold Coast. We pretty much split up into different groups over different periods of time during the day. The highlights though:
There are next to no fish and chip shops around Surfer's Paradise, Cavall Ave. However... there are plenty at Burleigh :P Every third shop or something like that was a fish and chip shop. By the time we were there, we weren't looking for them anymore...
Driving with Matt was a great experience too. Anger/stress/etc leads to fast driving :D High revs, wheel spins, screeching, it's all good :) It's all stuff I'd never do in my car so it's great to have had the experience anyway :P I didn't drive my own car as I'm not keen to drive long-ish distance before getting my wheel alignment done tomorrow.
There were a lot of photos taken too. They'll probably go up on Facebook... one day... when I sort out all my photos...
Volleyball with strangers on the beach was great fun too :) Most of that will have to be seen in the photos that I just mentioned though. Point is that it happened!
Traffic on the way back was horrible. Took ages to get back to the highway to get out then there was a lot of traffic on the highway on the way back after passing the theme parks (I think?). Those of you who live in the area probably know the area I'm talking about.
That's all that comes to mind for now but there you have it. Hope it's enjoyable... or at the very least, informative :P.

Burleigh is the shiz!
Volleyball on the beach with randoms is rad, last time I was there (ages ago) I was playing with some drunk Germans (I think) - either way one of them had a swastika tat.
I too noticed the traffic on the way home, the Coomera exit with the big Servo was choccers.
Glad you had fun matey.
