Aussie Trip

Thank God we were able to go on a trip to Australia Gold Coast over the March holidays. I had wanted to bring Joshua to Gold Coast since last year but I felt it was too expensive to head to Australia. Recently we saw a promotional land package to Gold Coast and coupled with a lower-priced airfare from Scoot Airlines, we made the decision to go just the week before the holIdays started. 

We went to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, Movie World, Dreamworld and Skypoint. We stayed in Surfers' Paradise which is home to a beautiful beach. We loved the beach...Joshua had so much fun at the beach. The weather was very good, about 26 degrees in the day and about 21 degrees at night. It could get a bit chilly at night because of the breeze. But the cool weather in the theme parks made our experience very pleasant. The Australians are generally friendly and the best part is they are more leisurely rather than rushed. The pace of life there is slower and the people there are more pro-family. 

Joshua liked the rides in the theme parks. He was quite brave to try all the roller coasters. He said it was fun and not scary at all. I was surprised because when he was younger, he was even scared of the merry-go-round...can you imagine! Of all the holidays we had gone, Joshua found this one the best. He is also of this age that he can understand, appreciate and remembers the things he has seen and played. Maybe next time we would explore a farm stay...either in Perth or Taiwan or even Bangkok!
