At night, we walked around surfers paradise and had dinner at Billy Baxter's.
Daddy had rump steak at promotional price. Sauce or dressing are charged separately.
Mummy having sandwiches with fries. Too bad there was no chilly sauce and mummy not used to having fries without chilly sauce. She was thinking of getting a bottle of chilly sauce lateron.
On day 2, daddy suffered from food poisoning of which he suspects is from the sandwiches he ate last night. Mummy and i went to the nearby pharmacy to get daddy some medication.
After lying on the bed for 2 hours, daddy decided to consult the doctor. Luckily, we have bought travel insurance therefore all medical expenses are recoverable.There is a slight difference between the clinic in Malaysia and Australia. In Australia, the clinic charges us the consultation fees only while for medication, you have to get it from the nearby pharmacy. So we went back to the same pharmacy.
In the evening when daddy was felling better, we decided to change our itinerary and went to Tropical Fruit World as our first attraction in Gold Coast. The admission to Tropical Fruit World is AUD66 for 2 adult and free for infant.
Fruit tasting. They called papaya as paw paw.
Daddy feeding the kangaroo.
The shuttle bringing us around the farm.
Macadamia nuts.
Miniature train ride.
Jungle river cruise.
The duck can slide very well chasing after us obviously for food.
After a long silence from blogspot, i'm finally back. This round we will be heading to Gold Coast, Australia. Ah Mi (i couldn't pronouce mummy) has booked for the flight tickets 10 mths ahead and planned with aunty Jean for months before the actual departure date as both of them were going to the same location but aunty Jean went in February instead.
Beginning of a long haul flight. Still smilling.
Our flight departed at 10.05 in the morning on 1 March 2009. On this day, ah mi woke up very early (at 5am) to pack my remaining stuff and cooked pasta for me as Airasia does not allow her to order kids meal online. They actually limit on-line meal booking to 1 meal for a ticket. Besides that, ah mi was afraid that the meal on board may not suit my taste bud.
Ah mi was well prepared with a portable dvd player together with my favourite vcds and a surprise toy for me on board as the journey took more than 8 hours. Can you guess what is the surprise toy? Try to figure out from the photo below. The flight was long and exhausted especially the so called reclining chairs do not seem to adjust much and the seat is smaller than the normal flight to phuket. This is my 2nd time on a flight, therefore i could only compared it against my previous trip to Phuket.Heheheh.
Me occupying 2 seats at a time. As a result ah mi need to sit elsewhere.
We arrived at Gold Coast Airport (Coolangatta) at around 8 something (Gold Coast is 2 hours ahead of Malaysia at that time), thereafter we proceed to the immigration counter. In fear that some food product, like milk powder and cereal are not allowed, ah mi declared all the food item. Ah mi noticed for those who did not declare their belonging, their luggage was ransack by the immigration officer whereas for those who declared, their luggage was not touch but went through a scanning process only.
Ah Mi has make an advance car booking from eastcoastcarrental. Upon claiming our luggage, stroller and going through the immigration thingy, ah mi and daddy were searching for the right "bay" to our rented car.
By the time we checked into our hotel (Holiday Inn), it was around 10pm. Both Ah Mi and Daddy have yet to have their dinner, therefore we packed some sandwiches from Subway.
Our hotel room with 2 double bed.
