The Gold Coast - Surfers Paradise and Family

>> 2009-01-14

We arrived in Surfers Paradise today on the Gold Coast. We have been following a tourist road up the coast the last two nights.

Storm clouds have been following us these last days but we have yet to feel rain only heat and humidity. The roads have become much more populated as we enter the Gold Coast. This popular holiday area is lined with white beaches, clear blue water, and hoards of beach goes. We are giving our sunburns a few days rest prior to jumping back into the ocean.
The towers of the Gold Coast in the distance:
Like the safety vests?
Tonight we are catching a local train to Greta's home outside Brisbane.Greta was married to my dad years ago and this will be my first time meeting her as an adult. She last saw me when I was 9 years old. Z and I will spend the weekend at her home before heading into Brisband central for a few nights. I am looking forward to reconnecting with the side of my family living in Australia.
All the best to those back home.

Who We Are

We are two mid/late twenties bike crazy folks that have been stewing with wanderlust since a trip to India in 2005. We consist of one college graduate and one high school dropout, one bike mechanic and one bookworm, one cook and one photographer. We're heading out to figure out where we want to go next and to see as much as we can along the way. If you know us, or just think we're neat, we are always looking for folks who would like to travel.
