[QUEENSLAND AUSTRALIA 2015] - IT'S THE DAY!

Finally! Before Chinese New Year, we planned a trip to Gold Coast end of May as a reward for ourselves after finishing our law papers. We waited for almost half a year for this date to arrive! The month we went was considered late autumn. Had a hard time doing my packing as I didn't have enough time to pack. Oh well, last minute packing.

DAY 1 (17/05/2015)

Three of us couldn't really sleep the night before, busy texting each other, reminding each other the things that need to bring. I met up with SiewHui at Premieré Hotel at 4am to catch the bus to the airport. Our flight was at 10am. I know, it was early, but we were so excited, couldn't really feel the tiredness.

We reached the airport at 5.30am, chit chatted at Starbucks while waiting for the slow pok Jaz who arrived at 7.30am. Haha! Checked in our luggage after Jaz arrived and headed to the departure gate straight away.

Our plane got delayed for almost an hour due to the bad weather and I was quite worried because I had already arranged the time with our driver to pick us up from Gold Coast Airport.

This 8 hours flight is the smoothest flight I've ever take, after the cabin crew served us the lunch, they lifted down the window shades and dimmed the cabin lights. Almost everyone was asleep during half of the flight, though there were times SiewHui woke up and said "I'm hungry". Lol

We arrived at Gold Coast Airport on time and our driver was already there waiting for us. Sent a text message telling our host that we landed and arranged a time to meet the host's friend in front of the apartment. This time we booked our accommodation through Airbnb and the hosts are really friendly. Even though we didn't meet in person, but the hosts sent their friend to wait for us in front of the apartment, showed us the apartment and passed us the keys.

The apartment locates in the perfect location in Surfers Paradise. 5 minutes walk to Cavill Mall, 8 minutes walk to Cavill Avenue tram station and Cypress Avenue tram station, 6 minutes walk to Coles Chevron Renaissance, 6 minutes walk to Woolworths Circle on Cavill and the beach is just a few steps away. Even though the apartment locates in the central location, but it's far enough from the noise. 

We headed to Maccas for dinner after we settled ourselves and explored the apartment. Three of us went to bed after our dinner.
