Yesterday was great. Alysha, Larry, Jess, Vlad and 2 of Alysha's friends from college back home went to Coolangatta, a suburb/beach where the 2010 Roxy/Quicksilver Surfing competition was. It started on the 26th and was supposed to run until March 10th, but, the last day of it ended up being yesterday so we still got to see everything! The girls & I for some reason didn't really pack beach towels to come down to Australia so, we all bought the same towel! Hahaha! Here's a picture!
We're cool. We know it. It's okay. Haha! It just says Roxy Surf Pro - Gold Coast, Australia 2010. It's perfect & good quality!
The beach there was sooo gorgeous. Crystal clear water, shells, big waves.. ugh, I loved it! A lot of rocks and vegetation there too, which only added to how beautiful it was. Sadly, it was an overcast day. But, it didn't rain and we didn't get burnt, so that's a bonus! Vlad took some great photos, I'll try to get them from him so I can post them on here!
It was great to actually see some real surfing as well. Surprisingly, there isn't a ton of surfing in Surfers Paradise. I think it's just so touristy that most people swim rather than surf. I will be taking surf lessons soon and will let you all know how that goes!
Hey Nanny, here's the picture of me holding a koala bear at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary:
This picture isn't the professional one that we paid for, but you were able to take pictures with your own camera as well which was nice.
Well today (Sunday) I'll be doing my reading for the week (sooo much to read) and probably vacuuming as our place is as sandy as the beach! Just a relaxing day. Probably go for coffee with Alysha later which will be a nice ending to the weekend.
Oh! Sun is coming out! Got to go get my sunglasses! More later! xox
