Scary horses

What an exciting day.

We left this morning around 6:45 to head to Ipswich for a hockey game. I lathered on the sunscreen before the hour and 30 min drive. We drove past some amusement parks (4 to be exact, all within 5 miles of each other), and then ended up in the country. Horses everywhere. . .and if you don't know this already, I hate horses! Ok fine, maybe hate is a strong word, but i strongly dislike them. I think they are the scariest creatures alive. So anyways, We watched a game that began at 9 and then headed for some lunch and back home. The game was the Gold Coast vs. Brisbane. Brisbane is apparently one of the top teams around so it was real good to watch them play, they had some talented girls on their team.

Tonight we went to dinner at a revolving restaurant on top of a hotel called Four Winds. It was right on the beach, a little past surfers paradise, and you could see for miles. Bruce and Karina pointed out all the places I need to go, and showed me the tallest residential highrise in the world! What a great way to see everything. . .sitting down, eating great food, staring out a window.

Tomorrow I will be traveling on the bus to see surfers paradise in the daylight. I will also finally post some pictures so you don't have to read the boring stuff I've been writing and you can actually see some pretty neat stuff.
