Duration: 6 Days 5 Nights (Aug 21~Aug 26, 2011)

Day 6: Seaworld & Airport

It was our last day in Gold Coast and we needed to be picked up by airport coach on 7.20pm. Thus Seaworld would be the only destination of the day. We took the bus as usual and reached there before their business hour.

Seaworld Bus Stop

It was not opened yet!

We got their show schedule like in Movieworld but apparently there were fewer shows since some of them were in maintenance. We went to see the penguin *squee*, I love penguin, they are so cute!

I'm Sexy & I Know It!!!

I'm Sexier!!!

By the way, the sun was simply scorching here. You couldn’t really open your eyes without sunglasses. We went for this fish detective show and there was this sea lion doing lots of tricks. Then we went to ray’s reef to touch the stingray. It felt slimy! You could buy food and fed them with your hand but the seagulls there were fighting for food with them. :p

Clap your hand! Don't make me come get you!

Can you stand on your hand?

Bye!

The Stingray..

Hahaa.. it was like a doggie!

The dolphin show was okay – typical dolphin show. Nothing special there.

JUMP! JUMP! JUMP!!!

"Close" Encounter with Dophin!

I liked the castaway bay though, you could experience life as a pirate by climbing, crawling and clambering the way through The Sky Fortress with rope bridges, tunnels and much more. Or you might do the sky climb if you are more adventurous.

Can you walk on top of this?

I think this is more suitable for me!

Make it out alive with 3 inches heel!

A View from the Fortress!

I'm so not going to go through this!!!

Trapped!!!

There was simply nothing much to do so we ended up at the Bert & Ernies show and watched the Happy Feet in normal 3D. Kind of disappointed at Seaworld… perhaps we should’ve joined another day tour instead.

The Children Show!

Happy Feet...

Since we were bored, we took their sky train and monorail to have a look around the whole park. They do cater for helicopter ride but I guess the price would cause you to have a heart attack.

Monorail

We ended up watching penguins again and ate our late lunch – seafood delight set (AUD 16.99) at their foodcourt. The food was fine but nothing extraordinary. The funny thing was that there was a family there feeding seagull chips and they were surrounded by tons of them!

Can i have one?

Seafood Delight

SHARK!!!

Bye Bye Seaworld!

We headed back to the Surfers Paradise Night Market for the last time before boarding our airport coach to Brisbane Airport. Since we have lots of time to kill, we walked around and stumbled upon this cool architecture where small balls are being lifted up & down and thrown around all with momentum precision. Nice!

Cool Car @night market!

Another one @night market!

And this is our airport transfer bus! *facepalm*

Cool!

We then decided to try Red Rooster for dinner – the classic quarter chicken (AUD8.80) was savory and tender. This was when we noticed it was the 1^st time we ate chicken in our entire Australian trip! Guess lamb & beef were more common here.

We finally go on our red eye flight and reached Malaysia on Oct 27 morning – before being served with the MH “famous” Nasi Lemak, Omelet & Pie again! Well, at least there was not giant tomato anymore. Bye-bye Australia!

Oh no! Not AGAIN!

Malaysia Boleh!
