Aussie Day 3

Another great day in Aussie....all this while ive seen a lot of kangaroos and koala in the tv screen and as for today, im finally gonna have a chance to feel their soft fur with my own hand...walla! Our next visits was to Paradise Country Farm \(^_^)/ ...Starting the day with a nice weather and when we reach at the entrance gate, we are being welcome by cute horsie and camel...

Let see who have the eagerer face rather me to see the kangaroo and koala...hehehehe.... tadaaaaa.... ^_^

and here we are with the kangaroos hehehe...ya ya i was so afraid to get nearer to the kangaroo because i know kangaroo was good at boxing and kicking and i guess u might even loose when fighting with them even if u have a blackbelt in any martial arts hehehe...but its not like what i think...the kangaroos here was so tame n maybe they are well train and get use to having a lot of visitors came down everyday...

Next, definitely a must taken photo was with the cute koala....they are so darn cute even when they are sleeping...feels like squeezing them because of the cuteness hehehe....adn definitely we wont think twice to take a picture with the cute koala eventho we have to pay for it. Its not that expensive for a wonderful experience even just for a few seconds...it charge us around AUD15.. and here's the snap taken from our own camera...

Next activities was tasting the cowboy's food and drink... the first time they show us the food, it does looks like a fruit cake to us and definitely it was not baked with oven...hehe and they also show us how cowboy make their own tea...its kinda unique and we got the chance to taste it as well...the cake not as soft as what we used to eat and the tea was like a tea being serve with less sugar :)

Next stop, llama....hehehe heard its name before and now here it is...it was so cute...*LOL..azlin, everything was cute for u..hehehe...well, what else should i say...it is...then we proceed to the outdoor arena where they are having a show on playing the boomerang, the whip, handling the sheep and milking the cow...

Moving to the next station, lunchy!! i love free buffet food (it was actually included in the package but as long as i dint have to pay while i was there, its still consider as free for me hehehe)...eat everything as long as u can...once full, feels the enjoyment....

and papai from Paradise Country...it was about time, when we are heading back to the bus stop, its started to rains heavily...thank god everything was smoothly during the day we were there....

Before we went back to the hotel, we have one more station to drop by..it was the Harbour Town Traders...Who said when the money was 3 times higher that ours we cant shopping...huhuuu thanks to my hubby for the great management of money that we have, so we had the chance to shop whatever we want...hehehe....shop till u drop! not really drop or else u r starving for the next day hehehe...

Aussie Day 1

Alhamdulillah after around 8 hours journey, we finally reach our destination...Good morning from Aussie \(^_^)/ Its 6.30am KL time  and around 10am Aussie time and it was a bright shining day but the best thing here was that you wont feel the heat as what we feel in KL...smile :) 

Since we were landing on the Budget Terminal, Gold Coast,so we have to go through a long queue due to they have like a few counters open up for public. Lucky that we've being informed by someone how Australian's act upon outsiders who came in to their country. We have to be scanned 2 times which im not sure why but there's a weird thing happen when we go for the 2nd checkpoint, once they check our information, asking about our current job, hotel that we are going to stay then, walla they just scan thru our bag n let us go without asking a lot of thing like other person does where they even have to open up their bags and take out all the stuffs one by one...oh god! im really thanking you for simplifying ours....

Next destination was heading to the hotel to check in. But i believe that it was still too early to check in but nothing much we can do besides trying our luck later....we choose to stay @ Mantra Legends Hotel, Surfers Paradise...never tot that its gonna be a very interesting places which located near the beach! Walla! Once we arrive at the hotel, just like what i tot, we have to wait until 2pm to check in because the room was still occupied and have to wait till they finish up with the cleaning process...While waiting for the clock strike 2, we decided to have a walk around the surfers paradise...take a look of what we can do, where we can eat, the cybercafe (this is the most important thing since we  dont turn our roaming on, so its a must to have a place to communicate with anyone in KL)...

First time being in a country that Islam was not the main religious kinda freaking us out because its gonna be quit challenging for us to find the food but Alhamdulillah, there's few restaurant was open up with Halal food even there is a few restaurant looks suspicious even with the Halal sign and our first food of the day @ Aussie was the Ali Baba's Kebab...thanks to my dearest hubby which as usual, he will be doing almost all the research about things that we shud and shudnt do when travelling in any places. and as for this time, he did bring along the list of Halal's restaurant in Surfers Paradise and definitely Ali Baba's Kebab was listed as one of it...

Done with our lunch, next activity was walking around surfers paradise...let see what do they have in surfers paradise and why this place was called a surfers paradise...

 

Yes! definitely....the beach was mostly meant for surfers instead of swimmers....this is because of they have a huge wave which suitable for the surfers which of coz to surf and they even have a surfers class for newbies...surfers paradise beach was awesomely white, clean n beautiful....as for me i think, i can even sit on the beach the whole day if i want to because of the calm environment and everything was like greatly in place...we walk along the beach till we reach a shopping mall and as usual, since today was a first day, so window shopping is a must before decided to grab anything :) ... 

When it was almost 2pm, we decided to move back to hotel and on our way back, we saw another Muslim's restaurant that we decided to be our dinner's place to be tonite and it was Maharani Malaysian Seafood Restaurant. The prices? Just wait n see when the time comes...hehehe :D

By the time we reach at the hotel, we still have to wait for a few more minutes for them to finish up the arrangement and then we were finally in our room and have some rest before starting our next journey tonite...here's some view of room that we stay in Mantra Legends Hotel...
