How to fit a lot into one days adventure…
Today we all got up at 5:30 am and we were off to Currumbin Wild Life Sanctuary. Great place to go with our son! Here we were able to see all sorts of animals, but the highlights were large salt-water crocs, petting kangaroos and emus, then close up encounters with snakes and other wild life.
Afterward we took the bus down to Kirra to watch The 2012 Australian Surf Life Saving Championships (I am sure all the Aussie’s would be unhappy to hear this but the closet thing I can think of to say for the East Cost USA folks is imagine a huge Bay Watch competition). It was lots of fun to watch.
But we had a good learning lesson: don’t head off for the day in a beach area without a daypack and bathing suits.
After returning to our hotel in Surfers Paradise we changed into suits and headed to the beach for a little evening wave action.
At night Surfers Paradise looks a lot like the Vegas Strip freaks and all!
