Surfers' Paradise

Today Mark had business down the coast and he asked Karen and I if we wanted to go to the beach. Well, the beach Mark had in mind happened to be Surfer's Paradise. I knew that we could keep ourselves entertained there for the day. It was a blast to say the least. Surfer's Paradise has been rated one of the top beaches in the world. The beach was white sand and surf as far as we could see. The beach was clean and not a rock in sight. September holidays start tomorrow here in Australia (something like Spring break in Alberta) so the beach was getting busy. The surfers were indeed out. Point Danger had excellent waves and there must have been 75 surfers riding the surf. I thought of Jay's son Sam all day. I am sure he would never leave this place.

Today was a day of lots of firsts for Karen. She saw whales, dolphins, and lots of hot surfers. Karen and I loved swimming in the ocean. The waves were big.

Tomorrow we are heading north to get our sailboat and then we have a week cruising the Whitsunday Islands. It's going to be lots of fun!

Karen says she likes the comments you have sent along. Keep'em coming.

How can Surfers Paradise and Labrador be on the same sign on the M1 in Australia? Confusing for a Canadian.

The Australian Grand Prix occurs on the streets right behind the beach in about 4 weeks. I was getting ready.

Surf is up. Time for some fun.



This picture is at Point Danger today. The dolphins were cruising amongst the surfers and humpback whales were a bit further out.

Expert surf boarders!
