Borrowing a line from Cyndi Lauper's
song, don't we all just want to have a break and escape from our busy
lives to relax and have fun with our girlfriends? That's exactly what I
did the past weekend. With two of my best friends from College
in tow, we went to Gold Coast in Queensland for a weekend of fun and
relaxation.
We stayed at Surfers Paradise which
has an absolutely to die for coast line. I love the contrast of the
beach and tall buildings in this city. Its the exact example of the "work hard, party harder" vibe.

Our first day was quite gloomy and
rainy but it did not stop us from taking a sunset cruise along the
city's canal. Although we did missed out on sunset because of the
weather, who cares as long as you are in a boat cruising along a canal with
your girl friends and a glass of bubbly!
For our second day, we had to drive an hour and take a one and a half hours ferry ride to reach Moreton Island. One of
the largest sand island in the world. We then had to do a 30 minute off
road driving to reach this big sand formation, the site
for our sand boarding.
Yes ladies, sand boarding! It was my
first time to do this activity and it was so much fun! The sand
formation was so steep and the adrenaline rush is so high and if you
could only see how my knees looked after with all the bruises.
Suffice it to say, if only for this, the long time it took us to get
here was worth it. Bonus that we also get to
spend time in the beach to snorkel and swim.
Third day was spent in Warner Bro's
MovieWorld, one of Gold Coast's numerous theme parks. I don't know about
you but there's something about theme parks that bring out the child
in me. And I absolutely love roller coasters. The more complex
it is, the better. You sit there, scream your lungs out, make sure your
eyes are open and then you raise your hand the whole ride..such
freedom!
It was just a short vacation but we
had so much fun. We ended up planning our next trip already.
What about
you lovelies, how do you spend vacations with your girlfriends?
And oh, can someone please tell me why do vacations have to end?
