Fun in Fraser Island and then Surfers Paradise! Day 7-8

Watch for Dingos
 Free day today! We still had brekky around 8AM. But to us it felt good to sleep in.

   So Maria, Heather, Dani, Gloria and myself went exploring. The beach, the sand, the water felt wonderful. Signs saying to keep watch for Dingoes. But we were not able to see any that day, we did see a whole army of crabs. When you get too close they burrow themselves in sand.

Kookaburra
Had lunch at the Sand Bar where some bought fish and chips. Surrounded by kookaburras while enjoying our meal.

Just chillin on a nice day in
 front of our pool
Bought some souviners, and we all sceduled to get massages that day, but it turned out our masseuse was ill... no worries. All layed down watched some tv and then decided to go to pool and layout and get some sun. It was good to relax by the pool.
My yummy lamb ravioli
Alrighty dinner! It was absolutely delicious. We ordered a platter for our table that consisted of emu, roo, and croc. The emu was my favourite out of the three. I ordered the lamb ravioli, it was really good.

Adam was round the corner so we asked what he did all day and just chatted before we all left for our seperate rooms.



                  The next morning I cant remember the time we got up or left for the Ferry. Had fun and enjoyed the view. I really want to come back here sometime soon, I had discovered too late the beach volleyball courts, oh well, no worries.
One of many houses we passed in
Queensland
                 
 Drove along Queensland looking at houses, some looked like bungalows.
Watching our seal show
                      
        Went to Underwater World in Mooloolaba, Sunshine Coast. We saw a seal show, saw very interesting creatures of the deep. Saw some sharks, there was a little area above us that held baby hammerhead sharks. Shopped or atleast looked at what they had... Then we walked around and had some lunch.
    
The Hard Rock Cafe
Headed downtown to Surfers Paradise (tourist central) on our coach and drove around for a bit to get a feel for town, and got to the hotel. Put our stuff away and headed out on the town. We found the Hard Rock Cafe and looked at souviners. Continued our search for more souvies.
Our hotel The Vibe
in Surfers Paradise

         Left for hotel and had a buffet dinner.    Had a wonderful dessert with some fun people. 

Then Heather and I went and got our suits on and found the hot tub. The jets were broken and it wasnt really hot, more lukewarm.
