Australia - Day4 *Gold Coast Shopping Spree*

Day 4, 26 May 09


It's a designated day for shopping! Gold Coast Harbour Town was a famous outlet shopping centre for its good deal of branded stuff. I love Gold Coast as we didnt have to pay for the parking fee for most of the places we have been. And they always provide ample spaces to accommodate the cars. So u do not have to worry about finding a carpark at all.

It took less than 30 minutes to reach Harbour Town from our hotel.


What a bus!!!
I saw it on our way to Harbour Town

It was indeed a branded shopping paradise, as u could find many branded fashion outlets such as CK Jeans, David Jones, Esprit, Fcuk, Lacoste, Levis, Polo Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Nike, Quiksilver, RipCurl, Adidas and also other Australian's brands.

We had our lunch at Nando. The pita bread & chicken salad was not very impressive. I think HY's chicken wings were not that good either. Anyway, we were not in the mood to eat as there were too many things to shop!!!!!! It was lacking of time as they would close in the evening at about 5.30pm.

After all the big battle late in the evening, we decided to catch a movie at Reading Cinema. Therefore, we went back to our car to settle all our preys, as it would look very stupid to carry all of them into the cinema. We also shifted our car to the front carpark.

Then, we ended up watching Angels & Demons. The ticket costs AUD16 per person, really expensive. However, the cinema was too good compared to what we have in Malaysia. Since it was weekday, so there were only 5 of us in that super huge cinema...... The movie didnt come with subtitle, so got to pay extra attention.. haha!

The movie ended at 7pm. Now we could feel the hunger seriously. Since all the shops in Harbour Town were closed, so we decided to have our dinner at other place.


Super quiet.........





Where were all the people???




When we drove out of Harbour Town, just at the traffic light, we saw a row of shops, with a few restaurants there. Without thinking further, HY drove straight into that area. They were selling Western food like burger, fish & chips. We decided to eat sushi at Sushi Train. The sushi were simply too delicious, and I love it so much!

After filling our stomach, we drove around to enjoy the night scene. We also went to the Night Market along The Esplanade. This was a good experience to walk along the beach at such a cold and windy night, holding my darling's hand, enjoying the local Australian's products such as painting and handicraft.

However, we had a big shock after the stroll at the Night Market. When we walked back to our car, we saw a man who looked 99% like a cop. He was standing next to our car and holding something in his hand. We thought we were fined as we actually parked at the Disabled Parking Area!!! But when we walked nearer, and found out that he was just the car owner next to ours!!!!!!!!! What a shit fright.....
