On the road again...

Although our exams are over, we'll continue this blog in English; mainly to keep it readable for Flo's French relatives.

We started our trip on Saturday pretty early in the morning (our bus left at 6:10 am). But it was good, that we left early because our train stopped in the middle of nowhere and we had to get on buses as our train couldn't continue. We arrived in Brisbane with 1 hour delay but we had still time enough to pick up our wickedcamper.


Our Catwoman Wickedcamper. Come and make me purr...

After only a short drive we reached the Gold Coast and Surfers Paradise. After having checked in at the Treasure Island Caravanpark, we went to "Wet 'n' Wild" the coolest waterpark of the southern hemisphere. There were some impressive slides and Flo even felt a little nervous before taking a waterslide with a looping...

In the evening there was a Screening of "Despicable Me" that could be watched on the big screen from the Giant Wave Pool.



The big screen was not yet put up...

 It started to rain a little but apart from having quite cold, the wet weather didn't bother us... (Well, that is a little bit an understatement as we were afraid, that it will stay wet all week. The weatherforecast was pretty ugly!) The movie was funny enough to make up for the bad weather anyway!

Surfer's Paradise - Skyline

The next day we started to explore the Gold Coast until 10:00 am, when the Movie World opened. The Superman escape was really a good ride :-)

With Thunderstorm and Hurricane,
only call for Oliman!

But there was much more to see: The Lethal Weapon - the Ride, Scooby Doo Spooky Coaster and the Stunt Driver show were only some of the Highlights.

 The Ticked we bought gave us unlimited access to all three theme parks here in Surfers and therefore we went today to the Seaworld another wunderful Park. And if you have a close look at the pictures you can see that the weather got better and better (in spite to the forecast!).

We experienced the maritine life...

...and watched various shows.

So long, and thanks for all the fish...

But the wonderful experience of the Seaworld was overshadowed by the incident that we descovered when we returned to our car...

Despite this warning sign on our campervan:

our camper was broken into...

There were some items of value stolen from us, like a pretty new GPS, Flo's mobilephone with our australian SIM-Card and most scandalously, our swiss Jass-set. Luckily they didn't steal our laptop or Flo's purse with all her cards and IDs.

The later afternoon we spent, making a report at the local police station...

Well, when travelling you are always at risk for something like that. But we're staying positive!
