Surfer's Paradise

*** Just uploaded more pictures from the weekend *** - Tuesday 11/09

On Saturday we went back down to Surfer’s Paradise to do some more jet skiing. Craig’s wife Sherri was up from Melbourne to visit for the weekend and to see the troublemakers that Craig hangs out with. We stopped off at Yatala again for some meat pies for breakfast and the first thing we did in Surfer’s Paradise was to head to the lookout floor of the Q1 Building. The Q1 is the world’s tallest residential tower and the 20th tallest building in the world (and the tallest in Australia). Being 300+ m up in the air provided some amazing views of the coast line and the surrounding mountains.
After the Q1, we became beach bums for a couple of hours - laying around, hitting the volleyball around and playing some cricket. Our appointment for jet skiing was at 2:30, but we showed up about 20 minutes late and didn't get on the skis until 3:30. We were suppose to only be out for 2 hours, but since we were repeat customers, the guides kept us out for 2.5 hours. It was a lot funner this time since most of us were experienced handling these beast of machines. I wiped out once, Joe & Kirstyn wiped out twice, and Craig & Sherri wiped out three times - one time when they weren't even moving! Last time we mainly went in a straight line; this time however we were fish tailing, doing 180's and pretty much acting like idiots - which is why we got tossed off so many times.
On the way home we stopped off at a seafood market to get some fresh prawns, oysters and octopus. We saved the seafood for Sunday night, as we had a Mexican cookout after we got back on Saturday night.
The only downfall from all the goofing around on the SeaDoos is that everyone was supersoar afterwards and everyone is walking funny today. Here are the pictures from the day.
