On Tuesday the 1st of October, my family and I flew to the Gold Coast, Australia. When we arrived we went to our apartment and then went to bed because it was late. 

The next morning we woke up early and got ready for the day. Dad, Charlotte, Oli and I went to wet n wild and mum went to shop. We had a long fun day of riding the water slides at wet n wild. When we got home we ate dinner then went to bed.

On Thursdays it was our last full day in Gold Coast, so we shopped until we dropped. We went to Harbour Town for about 5 hours. When we got home later we just chilled out in our apartment and went to sleep. The next day we took a 3-4 hour drive to Noosa. My dad had booked us our own private house. It was huge, and it had a swimming pool. 


We didn’t do much activities in Noosa, but Jess was and her mum and brother were in Noosa at the same time as my family, so we hung out for a few days. On the first day of hanging out with Jess, her mum took us to a little mall near my house. Then we hit the beach. We were out for a few hours then went back to mine and go for a swim in the pool. Jess stayed at my house that night. The next morning we woke up and went swimming, we were swimming for almost the whole day. Jess’s mum and brother came to our house, and we had a BBQ. Jess stayed another night at my house, as well as her mum and brother. They left the next morning. 


It was our last full day so we went out for drinks and dinner. The next day we packed up all our stuff and headed for the Gold Coast. After our long awaiting drive for the airport we finally arrived. We got through check-in and security so we had food. A couple of hours had passed, and we were ready to board our flight. We found our seats, sat down and enjoyed the flight. We finally landed, so we got our bags and headed home. It was a fun 10 days in Australia! I can’t wait to go back some other time.
