Weekend on the Gold Coast

Just got back from four days of sun on the Gold Coast (actually three days of sun and one of rain). The ocean waves were kind of scary, but the hotel pool was nice and calm. Even the weird “dinosaur bird” enjoyed things poolside.

Of course no trip with me is complete without checking out the local food scene. We had a couple of great dinners, and I can recommend:

*Vanitas at the Palazzo Versace Hotel
*Absynthe (also try nearby Absynthe Bakery for breakfast or pastries…you can pick up a loaf of deliciously unusual curry, honey and hazelnut bread)

We also went to Sea World and Warner Bros. Movie World.

I heart dolphins and rollercoasters!
