A trip to ...... Gold Coast, QLD

Bonjour! Comment allez-vous?

Uols! As promised, finally  i managed to finish writing abt my trip to the Sunshine State - Gold Coast, QLD! Yeay!! Punye lama kan? Hahahaha so sorry. Ok camnie, i write everything abt the in one single page. Nanti RedBerry akan letak dlm a few entries. Senang la skit nak tgk gambar. Ok tak?

Me and hubby decided to visit Gold Coast since last year. In fact, we bought the ticket since January this year. Nasib la boss lepas. Ye la, RedBerry kan baru masuk keje baru. Nasib before sign the contract, dah buat deal - kena kasik cuti for a week, coz dah plan cuti ni lama! kehkehkeh

RedBerry stayed kat sni - ARUBA SURF RESORT - from 2nd July to 8th July 2011. It's in Broadbeach. Masa kat immigration kan, normally uols kena isi form, so mmg uols kena state clearly kat mana uols stay. So time tuh RedBerry lupa nak letak 'Broadbeach', nasib the immigration officer tuh tolong, trus dia tulis, BROADBEACH.

First dah sampai kul 7 pagi. Sampai apartment ni dlm kul 9-10 pagi. Dah letih sgt after 8 hrs flite, malas nak pi jauh2. So we decided jalan2 kat area Broadbeach jer la. Pix kat ada tuh gambar entrance Aruba Surf. Cantek apartment. RedBerry suka sesgt! Windu!!!!

Dah habes penat pusing2 jalan2 tuh... lapar la pulak kan? Apa lagi, tingin la pekena KEBAB. Sekali tgk meals dia ard AUD9. Kalau nak drink add another AUD2. Kalau kita earn duit sana, price tuh mcm kita makan kat Msia jer la kan? Kalau convert? Uwaaaaa nanges jugak la. Sekali meal dah almost RM30++.

Tapi lapar punye pasal... ngap aja lah! Portion dia besar la. Makan tu mmg kenyang.

Broadbeach town

Pix kat atas ni nak tunjuk plate kete tuh. Siap tulis SUNSHINE STATE. Mmg Gold Coast terkenal ngan nama tuh. Tapi mmg betul la. RedBerry pegi time winter, tapi mmg ada matahari. Panas jer. Nampak panas, terang benderang, tapi sejuk coz temperature paling panas pun ard 19 deg cel. Best kan!!!

As usual, kalau dah sampai kat mana2 pun,  mesti beli groceries. For sure mesti beli fruits. Pix ni kat Pacific Fair - shopping complex kat area Broadbeach. Besar gak complex nih. Ada indoor and outdoor. Interesting place to lepak. *grin* Betul.... ramai org2 lepak kat sana. Most of them are families. Bawak anak2 lepak kat situ.

Lepas beli buah, we went to WOOLWORTH. Beli groceries lain lah - bread, butter, jam, rice, vegetables, sabun, garam etc. - kata stay kat apartment kan? mana la ada semua tuh. Mmg trasa mcm local lah. Jadi Australian 'celup' la for a week... kehkehkeh

What interesting abt WOOLWORTH, tak sure la tempat lain... ada self check-out counter. Bayar sendiri, guna credit card or debit card. Boleh la merasa jadi cashier. Amik barang2 sendiri, buat payment sendiri, masuk dlm plastic bag sendiri - semua self service. Cool....

Dah penat beli2 tuh, trasa lapar la kan? Kata dah pukul 5 petang masa tuh. Time for dinner. It's WINTER, so gelap cepat lah. Jalan punye jalan, tgk2 ada NANDO's kat situ. Mmg dah tahu dah Kat Gold Coast, and other parts of Australia, Nando's mmg halal. But still kena check ada HALAL kat situ.

It's me in the orange top... tgh check HALF CHICKEN - HOT PERI PERI that we bought. *grin*

Nampak tak tanda HALAL kat board yg tgh tu? Dijamin halal. taukey nye org Pakistani. Takde lak dlm gambar nih.

Everytime we go for any vacations, mesti bawak travel cooker. Senang kalau nak masak apa2. Esp kalau country yg susah nak cari halal food, mcm China. Kalau uols tgk pix kat atas ni, that was our first dinner meal. Well, almost everyday kita pegi kedai Nando's tu beli half chicken - AUD10.95. Taukey kat situ pun sampai dah kenal we all. Masuk jer kedai tuh, trus dia tanye - "Half chicken?". Hahahaha.....

Malam tu keletihan.... after dinner jer... ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzz......

Stay tune...

See ya in my next entry!

Till then... a bientot!
