Not my idea of paradise
Today we took a McCafferty's coach (like National Express and full of backpackers) to Surfers Paradise. We will be staying for the next three nights on the 8th floor of an apartment block. It was raining when we arrived, but it eventually stopped. First impressions of the place: it's a tacky hole, a bit like a Brit-infested Mediterranean resort but without the Newcastle football shirts. It's all tower blocks, bars, eateries and shops selling crap. On the plus side, we could see the sea from our flat.
Our first views from the apartment, on a miserable day:
