Queensland, Part 3:

Surfer's Paradise

sunny

Sunday morning started with a trip to the Q1, the tallest all-residential tower in the world. The top floor is the observation deck: floor 77. And the elevator goes from the ground floor to 77 in just 43 seconds. That was a fun ride:)

Once up top I took a ton of pictures. The view was spectacular! Have a looksy for yourself.

Then there were a serious of spots that showed how many kms in that direction it was to various world locations:

Finally, there was a bug outside the window. I tried to make Bugzilla attack the city! It sort of worked.

Next we hit the main Surfer's Paradise Blvd. Here are some self-explanatory pictures.

After Surfer's, Pippi and I went shopping at Pacific Fair, which is one of her top favorite shopping centres. I thought the place we had lunch was cool, so pictures were taken. Plus, they had a really small merry-go-round.

And that was the end of that day! I hope you enjoyed that super long entry. Only one QLD entry remains! Stay tuned.

Ahhh Kate!! Those are so awesome-I totally want to go to Australia! I love your dress too...this is random but how have you adjusted to the metric system? Are you fluent by now or does it still take time to think about it?

Um...love!

Surfer's Paradise looks like a tourist trap. Wait a minute...it is. I read about it in this one book. I'm sure you had a great time. The building is cool.
