The Sunshine and Gold Coast

Hello everyone,

Everything is great and we are having a great time in our camper van. We have been driving a little and enjoy the weather alot. We are now in Surfer's Paradise on the Gold Coast and it's a very very develloped resort city. All of the Gold coast is the same so we are really happy that we spend 2 days on Rainbow beach on the Sunshine Coast. The beach was amazing and the village was really small and pretty. We spenr our time enjoying the weather and it was amazing.

Then we went to Brisbane but we didn't stay long since it was a big city like any other and we can see that at home. Today, we went to North Stadebroke Island near brisbane and it was a picturesque little island about a 45 minute boat ride from the coast. We saw a hugh pod of dolphins and some turtles. It was nice to visit the island that had beaches surrounding it. We spend the day on the beach again and then in the afternoon we left to visit the Gold Coast. It is a big tourist area that we will probable skip as much as possible.

We are going to a National Park tomorrow to get some hiking in and then to Byron Bay to surf if it's not too busy. It's a long weekend and we've heard it usually means everything is little busier. We'll see. We are still headind down the coast and we'll probably be in Sydney on the 13th of May to prepare for our next step of the journey.

Another thing, Happy birthday Matt. Hope you had a good 29th brithday. Can you believe we are almost 30?

Later
