Fourth day can easily be summarized as shopping day , for we did nothing else! We hardly took photos, just imagine! Late in the morning, we caught a bus to Carrara Market, reputed to be the largest market in Queensland, selling a wide range of products...from souvenirs, second-hand books, arts and crafts, designer copies, anything Made-In-China, fruits & veges, bakery and whatnot- all at bargain prices. It reminded me very much of Petaling Street + Pasar Tani Dubbed as 'bargain-hunters paradise', the Carrara Market receives good reviews in the net (which was why we put it in our plan in the first place) but I personally beg to differ! 2 hours there and all I bought were a couple of Australian made soaps at AUD5 I definitely prefer the night market we went on Day 2.



Anyway, there (of all places!), we met a Malaysian student who suggested that we visit Harbour Town - a factory outlet which offers brand names at discounted prices, up to 60%! Now that's more like it! Sadly, we only had 1 hour to shop as we had to rush to the airport afterwards. Bummer!

Anyway, to conclude, our 4D3N trip to Gold Coast was an awesome and a much needed vacation, right within our tight budget And the fact that we planned everything ourselves, down to the smallest details made it all the more memorable. Alhamdulillah.
