Travel Diary: Gold Coast

Le Fanciulle (17 of 79).jpg

From my Instagram feed, you probably already worked out that I was: A. not getting rained on in Perth over the weekend; but rather B. treating my vitamin D-depleted body to some sunshine on the Gold Coast.  I'm going to go ahead & rub it in by mentioning that the weather was magnificent - so lovely, in fact, that it was a shame that most of my time was spent indoors learning about hearts & stuff like that.  Although I've got to hand it to the cardiac society - they do put on a good conference!  (read: it was med student heaven - we had food coming out of our ears).

What time I did have off, however, was spent lapping up said rays of mid-Winter happiness at the beach, Seaworld, and various Asian restaurants (where surprisingly good Japanese, Korean & Chinese were hunted down & devoured).  We also put to rest some shopping urges at the Harbour Town which stomps all over Perth's reincarnation.  Good timing, as I packed TOO LIGHTLY (exhibit A in the photos below) & was running out of clothes - one of the fatal errors that comes with this "capsule wardrobe" obsession of mine.  Oh well, I had enough underwear & made it back to Perth in time for my birthday, so I guess it was a great weekend!

    So jealous! Perth is miserable. But.. I kinda like the rain. When I'm inside. Your time there looks so fun though!

      True - I love the rain as well... But sunshine was a welcome reprieve from getting rained on every day for the past week!

    I love your photos, they remind me of home! (mum and dad live on the gold coast) And the weather looked gorgeous, it was miserable back here in Perth. Hope you had a lovely weekend (and birthday following!) xx
