During our holiday at the beginning of October, I was fortunate enough to be invited by a friend that I have made here on road trip to her house in the Gold Coast. I have never done a long road trip so I was really excited. I also thought this would be a perfect way to see Australia. The trip was around 10 hours. We stopped a long the way to take photos and it was so much fun! We visited the Big Banana which is literally a big banana that people come and take pictures with. There are also bananas with chocolate coating for people to have while there. We also visited the Macadamia Castle. The castle had a bunch of different flavors of macadamias to try. We got to her house and it was absolutely stunning. It was on a lake. One day we went our on her boat and her dad showed us all of their favorite spots in the area. We also visited Sea World, Movie World and Wet and Wild. It was fun to see the difference between theme parks here than in America. The beach nearby called Surfers Paradise was also beautiful! It was a trip I will never forget and I was so lucky to get to see Australia by a group of Australians!
