Hell yeah! I'm back from a great break in Australia! A week long vacation is really well-deserved, given the fact that I've been working really hard for the past year plus. Now, presenting to you the sights & sounds of this fantastic trip!

Day 1
I went on this vacation trip with my sis and her friends. It was meant to be their graduation trip :P Anyway, we departed for Darwin the night before, so we reached there in the wee hours of the morning. Darwin served as our point of transit. After which, we continued our journey to Brisbane Domestic Airport. Wow, Brisbane was pretty chilly, as it was autumn already! However, Brisbane was not our final destination in Queensland. We took the air train to Gold Coast, and eventually arrived at the door-step of our vacation apartment! Cool, we finally reached Gold Coast after close to 10 hours! The apartment was quite large, albeit a bit old and run-down. The thing i love about our apartment was the scenic view of the river and the view of Gold Coast beaches a distance away =)

Our next stop on the itinerary: Gold Coast City Arts Centre. We would be walking there, as it was a short distance away. Although the weather has turned for the worse(it had started raining...), we decided to go ahead with it. As the rain had not abated, we stopped at a pastry shop to have tea-break, as we did not lunch prior to the arrival at the apartment. We had apple lattice and green tea. What a great combination for tea-break.

Reaching Gold Coast City Arts Centre had left us totally drenched. Yes, it was still raining cats and dogs outside... I have never exactly appreciated the beauty of art-pieces, but it was still an experience to expose ourselves to the arts. An excellent place to begin slowing down our paces, away from the fast-paced lifestyle we have in Singapore.

Alright, shall we take a breather? Too much happenings during this 1 week vacation, so I shall pen down the rest in the subsequent entries :P
