This is the view from our apartment. You never really know what a place is like when you book online but this was incredible! There are rivers all around this area and we faced a river. In the morning rowers were out then later in the day the waterskiiers and jetskis came out.
This is what we saw when we looked out the kitchen window. You can see the ocean in between the buildings. It was a 2 block walk to get to the beach but like I said above, it was gorgeous! This was right around sunrise.
So here is the beach. You can see all the accomodation running along the beach. This was in Surfer's Paradise area so of course there were surfers and body boarders to watch!
The boys were plotting their wave jumps! The beach itself is huge but there are small areas for swimming that are patrolled by lifeguards so that is why it looks a bit busy with swimmers. I promise the beach has more than enough room for the amount of people that come to visit, especially during school holidays!
The Easter Bunny made a visit during our time here. Both kids got a chocolate bunny, some sunglasses and of course an Easter egg hunt! I think Isabella ate 6 eggs before breakfast!
As I mentioned earlier, there are lots of amusement parks here. This is Miles at Movie World. We went on Easter Sunday, which I wouldn't recommend because the crowds were insane. Thanks to this experience we no longer plan on stopping at Disneyland on the way home, Clint just doesn't have the patience for line-ups!
This is Sea World. It was overcast with rainy patches so the crowds were much quieter on the day we went. Not sure if you can see the penguins behind us.
This is as close as I plan on getting to a shark, thanks Sea World!
The last park that we visited was Wet and Wild. It is a water slide park and since school holidays were over for kids in Queenland the crowds were minimal. The rainy weather helped a bit too! The kids played in the kids waterpark for about 10 minutes before they were cold and done! Clint and I took advantage of my mom being there to check out some of the waterslides. Whatever happened to slidding down on your back and laughing? Now all the rides seem to try and scare you half to death! We had a great time, this was Clint's favorite park, the line-ups of 5 people probably helped a bunch too!
The sky was often overcast and we had a bit of rain but this rainbow was beautiful and since it didn't rain all day everyday we still got to experience a lot.
What a great vacation. We didn't make it to Australia Zoo but even if we had, Miles wouldn't have talked to Bindy if we saw her! This may have been our best vacation ever and we would highly recommend both places.
