Gold Coast Day One

As suggested by the title, the first day of our Gold Coast 'roadtrip' just concluded.

Good times have been had, with the promise of more to follow.

First impressions of this place are a bit mixed.

Architecturally (because that's everyone's primary concern), it's a little bit of a let down. Most of the buildings I've seen so far are a bit dilapidated. That might be a bit strong, but a lot of the buildings here have certainly seen better days.

Weather-wise, it's pretty humid, which was expected. However, became a bit milder towards the latter part of the day.

On to some not-so-first impressions!

The accommodation (Q1) is pretty swish. We're fortunate enough to be on the 47th floor, and our apartment comes with bonus awesome scenic views.

Anyway, activity-wise, most of the day was spent getting from my house to airport, airport to the other airport, other airport to Q1, finding lunch, spending a couple of hours running/sitting on the beach, chilling in the pool, eating dinner, and finishing off with a mad Monopoly Deal/apple cider/Sherlock/Tangled combo. If you thought that was going to be a short summary, you had another thing coming. Word.

That'll do for today. Maybe another one tomorrow if I can be stuffed.
