the breakfast tray - - breakfast in bed prepared by Krystina @ 8am

Another beautiful day for the family, they made their mother feel very special today. She had breakfast in bed, presents, lots of cuddles and kisses.

At lunch time, she was treated at the Mexican restaurant called 'Cactus Jack' and she had a very delicious Taquitos. Krystina & Ethan both had Nachos with beef and chicken and non alcoholic margarita for drink. Dad had sizzling plate of chicken and chorizos fajitas... we all enjoyed the lunch.

After lunch we watched a movie called 'Thor' and end the day with a cup of hot chocolate for mum and long black coffee for dad while children played at the kids area.

Happy Valentines

Happy Valentines day to all <3

Happy Australia Day

Thinking the beach is going to be full because of holiday, we opt to what the Gold Coast Council free family entertainment offers. A free car park and shuttle to and from the park was also running every at least every hour.

Although traffic wasn't too bad, there were at least 4 car crashes along the way which made our travel very slow.

We watched Rodeo, pig race, woodturn contest and some stage shows.

Horse formation parade




Patting the camel after the ride.

The queue for camel ride is very long, took about an hour and cost $6 per person for a 3 minutes walk.

Before the camel ride.

Onto the back of the camel, the guide was giving instructions how to ride the camel and how to lean on when the camel stands up and kneels down.

*verdict about camel ride - - it was fun! Would like to do it again, hopefully to ride an egyptian camel in the desert ;-)
