Queensland - Gold Coast 2014 - Whales in Paradise

I've come to the last post of my Gold Coast Travelogue.
My last day in Gold Coast, we planned to go to the Whales in Paradise for a Morning whale watch.
Got up really early as the whale watch starts at 7:30AM.
Took a boat to pacific ocean, it was amazing!



























When we are out to the ocean, we were lucky that we spotted the humpback whale.
In fact, we saw 2 of them, these fellas are huge!
Unfortunately, we only get to see its big tail and its back.
They didn't do a back flip out of the ocean. D;
Nonetheless, it was still spectacular.











On our way back to land, we were also very lucky to catch many many dolphins~



On our last day, we just try to splurge as much as possible, mainly on food and souvenirs.


Had western food somewhere at surfers paradise.



Also, for dinner QW brought me to try desserts at the Max Brenner.


From our apartment, we took tram back to Broadbeach south station.
After which, we took the bus 777 to the Gold Coast airport.

Alrighty, I finally come to an end for my Australia Gold Coast travelogue.
Phew~ I guess I am taking longer time to update.
Bear with me as I am really really really busy with work and school stuffs.
So ciao~

Queensland - A Day Trip in Brisbane 2014

I've been squeezing my brain juice for the whole day to write my assignment.
So I thought I'll stopped for awhile and take a break.
And I'm back again with the backdated Gold Coast post.
By the way, this will be the second last post.

On the sixth day, we headed down to Brisbane, the capital of Queensland.
It was also the last day that QW's friend with us.
She drove us to Brisbane.

My morning face, you can see that my makeup is getting lesser and lesser as the day goes by..

Before heading to Brisbane, we dropped by Yatala Pies to have breakfast.
And if I don't remember wrongly, I ordered the Chicken and Vegetable Pie.
It tastes good!


I can't remember how long was the journey to Brisbane.
Dropped off at the South Bank Parkland.
And our day trip revolves around the area.
Guess I'll let the photos do the talking.












From the Goodwill bridge, we took a ferry to the other side of South bank.
The whole area is separate by a river.

The above photo is the Story Bridge.
The below photo is The Wheel of Brisbane.
Look at the cloud and the sky is bluer there! :)








After a long long walk, we finally reach the Story Bridge.










And I saw my company phone booth and decided to snap a photo.



Then I spotted my office building in Brisbane! Haha..
I was only working there for about 7months when I was in Brisbane!
Time flies~

After walking and shopping at Queens Street Mall, we took a train back to Gold Coast.




#Selfie during the long train ride.
FYI, we boarded at the Brisbane Central Station and alighted at Nerang.
From stop A, we took bus 740 towards Cypress Avenue.
From there, we took a tram towards University Hospital (GLKN route).


The tram stop - Main Beach station.
We went for some shopping again before heading back to our apartment.

Ending this post with our dinner of the day - Pizza with Australian beer.
