Day 3 continued. Our band new spanking day in down under. We left the house early ard 8am heading direct to Gold Coast, about 40 minutes drive from Brisbane City. Its end of Autumn and going to be Winter in 2 days time. Weather is just fine, its cool breezy air. I like this kind of weather. Efi so far doing ok, lil bit jet lag, Brisbane is only 2 hrs ahead of KL. We packed sandwiches and fried mee from home and tonnes of biscuits, muffins and mineral water. Nih, kes senang tak yah cari halal shop and stop for whatever. Its all ready.
So we arrived in Gold Coast ard 830am. Just circled around the town. Papa and Nazif were quite familiar with the area. We pass through the marina, sea world and other prominent building there. We have 2 lil children, my sister Eti and Nazif's niece who already cant wait to enter all the theme park. And my lil son who really dun understand anything but upon seeing all the games structure getting pretty nervous and excited.
Since all theme park opens at 10am, we headed direct to the beach. Not your usual beach, its the Surfer's Paradise. Well, obviously no surfing has been done but we have been taking tonnes of picture. Not forgetting going ohh and ahhs over everything. Jakun sehh! We even managed to do our first purchase at the souvenir shops there, nothinng much except your usual fridge magnet and koala kitchen. One thing the local are just very laid back and its all very colourful here. I like it. Point to note, check out the gorgeous sexy Parking Mate here. You will be amazed

After everyone settled for the loo and what nod, we headed direct to the first pack, the Warner Bros Movie World. Facts: Ticket will cost you AUD64 for adults and AUD42 for children (4-13yrs) but you can purchase a package to visit 3 parks in 3 days which the rates are quite attractive. Refer to the above link to get more info on it. This place is super duper extremely FUN. There is tonnes of rides and show to watch.My personal favourite would be the Shrek 4D animation and also Police Academy Stunt. I went back to my lil old kid by getting on all cute lil rides with Efi at Looney Tunes Village. My mentel sisters get on all roller coaster which I am so chicken out to try. Nah, ev er since I got married I kind of DONE with roller coaster.
To my suprise WBMW provides a very nice and clean prayer area for Muslim. They even have a halal restaurant for Muslim, but we did not buy anything. We had our lunch by the bench nearby the parade area walloping our bekal.
Efi is having so much fun dancing to the music seeing the parade. He is over obsess with Daffy Duck of all, and happy cheering upon seeing looney tunes. Its very FUN. I was enjoying every single bits of it. We spend 7 hrs in it and still feel like coming back to it again.
The souvenir shops are everywhere. Here is how it works. The park has rides for those thrilling movie like Batman, Leathal Weapon rides, Looney Tunes Ride. It houses row of shops and theme like house for each movie from all the cartoon characters, Shrek, Harry Potter, batman and even High 5 plus Scooby Doo. At each of this small outlets there will be a shops selling merchandise and everything. Just give them the money and u r done. I bought a few knick knacks for souvenir and remembrance.
Until about 5pm, we are all dead tired and hungry. We wrapped up the day by riding one last ride at riverside for some water splashing and left WBMW ard 5+ and reached home all dark at 6pm with hot rice waiting. Thannx to nazif's mum who has been a devoted cook for us while we were in Brisbane.
End of Day 3. Next one......
