GOLD COAST 3

Just a little update for you

Thursday - we played 18 holes of golf at Surfers Paradise GC again - it is so local and reasonably priced we think we will play the majority of our golf here and maybe try a couple further afield 

We decided to walk and carry this time - we'll it was too hot 🥵 and we just kept catching up the 3 ball in buggies!!!  Needless to say we are having a buggy on Monday. We played ok as usual some good, some bad

Decided to eat out at a Thai restaurant in the evening which was really nice although the sticky rice was a bit welded together 😂

Friday - our beach day, decided to pitch ourselves at the beach across the road with our chairs and sun shade, taking a lunch picnic with us.  All was good Pete venturing into the crashing waves with the big boys (and idiots!!) and I dared to go further in than usual and got my shoulders wet 😂😂

We have learnt the lesson about Aussie sun though - it is extremely fierce. ☀️☀️☀️I used 50 SPF and still managed to burn - but only a little compared to my dopey husband who thought sitting under the shade and only going a few times into the sea would be fine - it wasn't fine as he got very burnt 🥵 and has been applying aloe Vera aftersun like a good'un. You would like to tho k at our age and having raised 4 kids we would be experts managing the perils of the sun ?????

A couple of days rest from the sun I think 😂

Saturday - a nice day just chillin on the balcony watching the world go by, checking out some of the fabulous tower blocks - some have apartments that are the whole floor!  That is serious money, but they are super nice I have to say

Had a great brunch a 20 minute walk away at Banksys - had good reviews and we weren't disappointed and we will definitely be going back 

Had a wander around the area and ended up in the mall (as you do) I bought a pair of sandals and Pete got a new suitcase!! I would like to think it is to carry home all my purchases, but unfortunately not, his case zip has broken 🥲

Ate out in the evening at another Thai restaurant which was away from the centre but the food was amazing and we will definitely return 

All in all a good day, relaxing and nice restaurants and no sunburn 🥵 

Sunday (today)  a rainy day in the GC - quite welcome under the circumstances 😂😂 A day much the same as yesterday- more Aloe Vera necessary. We have purchased some UV50+ swim tops which I think will prove to be a good move 😂

Hope you are all ok at home- take care x
