Brisbane ~ Gold Coast ~ Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary ~ Surfers Pardise sightseeing

We arrived Brishane airport at 8:30 am. We hired 2 cars at the airport through internet a month ago. We had been waiting for a long time to deal with the company's guide. It was because they did not have the type of cars as per confirmed. They changed another type of cars to us. We refused to do so, but that guide sounds unhappy for this issue. Finally we get our confirmed cars but already 1 1/2 hours later. 點解?? 因為佢地話我哋要那款D車租曬!! ??

This is the first time we are here, we don't know the way to Gold Coast, asked the company to let us have the map of Brishane, but their answer is - sorry, not available now!

派完了! 給了本 Gold Coast & Sydney 的地圖, 叫我地自己找, 人生路不熟, 也要知道怎樣行哪! 唯有在停車場問. 好彩交車的大哥提點, 先知道個方向.

After 1 hour driving, we should exit to no. 62, but we were too fast, missing the exit!! The 2nd car is o.k. , because we called them not to miss the exit. Finally, we exit from the no. 66 and find the right way to our service apartment in Gold Coast at Boradbeach - King Tide services apartment at 12:30 noon.

當時, 駕車的要專心, 110 km per hour, 其他人就幫手看路牌 ~ 地圖, 大家都好忙，看地圖 ~ 路牌找到了, 車在路上又過咗!! 又要再找下個目標，總之就攪笑啦！

After taking a rest and lunch in the surrounding area - food court, we went to the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary by driving.

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary
Here we can see lots of the wildlife animals and the Aboriginal dance.

At night, we took our dinner at Surfers Pardise in a fast food shop. It was fully dark at 6:00 pm. This is the first night we are here, we cann't define the way and the road conditions. So, we guess the way back to our accomodation.

因為天己黑，又唔熟的路，第一架車駛咗入双程路, 佢哋好大膽轉個靚灣修正. 但 我哋在後面的車就嚇一跳，抹一額汗。 好彩！ 好彩！ 小心呀! 前車位人兄，我哋驚驚呀！

Finally, we found our right way back to our accomodation safety. Returned back the accomodation we had to prepare some food for the members who are coming at the midnight.

p.s. 有了今晚此驚險經驗, 大家立刻找兩個人, 連夜查看地圖 做 notes, 訂立明天的駕車路線圖！真要讚讚駕車和看地圖的幾位手足，多謝您們的勞苦功高，令我們的旅程順利!! Thanks a lot!!
