Eastern Australia Trip. Day 5 : Gold Coast

Hoping that the weather would be nice
Gold Coast is known for it's theme park. We were contemplated between Dreamworld and Warner Bro's Movie World. Some reviews said that the rides are bigger and balder, the Dreamworld. But then we finally decided on the Movie World. Yeahh.. there are others attraction like Sea World, Wet 'n Wild and the list goes on...

The park opens at 10 am, but we arrived early, it was 20 minutes from The Shore. The sky started to show that it would be raining soon. Anyhow, we should stay indoor in the theme park. Since I didn't made any reservations early or booked online, we just joined the not so long ticketing counter queue. After getting the park's map, we started with the farthest section since we don't want to join the crowd. It wasn't too many riders as compared to others theme park that we've been so far. The wait wasn't too long.

Had to skip this Justice League ride as Nu'man doesn't exceed the minimum heights
Queuing for the Looney Toon's Road Runner 4D shows 
Austin Power and his girls made appearance on the Main Street
The park was divided into 4 main sections, as usual, the Main Street, WB Kids, DC Comic Superhero and a 'bummer' Wild West Adventure Park. None of its rides are operational, sigh...Wild west located at the farthest section, and when we walked back, the Hollywood Stunt Driver was just about to start. We knew it from the roaring engine sounds from the speaker to attract the passersby.

Hmmm…. I'm not familiar with the DC comic's superhero
Who has the fastest speed?
It still early to grab for lunch
Though the coaster started a bit late but the ride was fun
It's like a ghost town, none of the attractions are operational... boooo!!!!
We took the Doomsday Destroyer rides more than twice! Don't have to queue at all
An outstanding stunt show from the Hollywood Stunt Driver
Say cheese...!
The kiddos play land... and we got entertained either!
Free soft drink refill anywhere in the park when you buy this bottle
Fish and Chips anyone?
In which series that this car appears?
A big Scoobert for him
Late afternoon, we stopped at Islamic Society of Gold Coast in Arundel for the Asr prayer. Then, moved on to the Pacific fair shopping center. One thing that we really loved in Australia was the milk. Almost every each day we bought the cheap fresh milk. And we were so tempted with freshness of  the fruits and vegetables, especially grapes. Fragrances were also part of the things that we look unto. We were searching high and low for  Bvlgari Coral as my cousin requested. The next day was more relaxing, we went for outlet shopping.

The Asr time at 4.15pm

An open-air garden in the center of the complex
Among the brands in the Pacific Fair
Saved this shop for the outlet bargains

Journey Review

Thinking of the same idea as what Zarin did in his wrapping up post, I'll do the same for the sake of my own record.  This post will be updated from time to time. Some of the trip may have a  specific write-up  and you may click on the travelling month. Here is the world travel map, courtesy of TripAdvisor. A bit of Statistics: Total countries visited = 22/195 [Last updated : September 2023] Our Travel Map. [Courtesy of TripAdvisor. According to them, we only covered 13% of the Earth at the moment :P .... still long way to go and we didn't show USA map as to when we will be there]

Singapore Trip: A lion-city escapade

Watch out! It is a zika-free :P trip to the city of light that we had on the 2nd mid-term school holiday, apart from the 'balik kampung' to Ipoh and JB on both week end. My wife managed to secure a stay for 2 nights at the 'Rumah Peranginan Persekutuan' where it supposed to be a big family trip with my siblings.  It was a big vacation house, which I believe can cater at least 15-20 people. For some reasons, they had to turn it down. Note: Pictures taken are not in the best quality as I'm still get my hands on the new DSLR camera.. wink.. wink..

Shopping sakan di Langkawi

Kenangan bersama mak... Bulan januari yang lepas, rombongan keluarga Perak buat trip ke Melaka. Sekarang giliran keluarga Johor pulak pegi berjalan.. errr bershopping sakan di Langkawi. Kalau nak diikutkan, gambar tengah syiok bershopping lagi banyak. Tapi takde sapa yang snap gambar . Hujung minggu kali nie serentak dengan Tahun Baru Cina.. ALhamdulillah dapat kumpulkan adik-beradik bersekali ngan mak ayah, buat trip ke Langkawi. Cuma keluarga adik yang bongsu pergi lebih awal. Dapat la die snap gambar kat Langkawi airport. Pagi hari pertama kami ke KLIA dan tinggalkan kereta kat sana. Takut terlebih2 shopping masa balik nanti, payah pulak nak sewa van. Jadi kami bawak kereta memasing. Kadar parking lebih kurang RM150 untuk 4 hari 3 malam. Bila buat kira2, lebih kurang je dengan sewa teksi pergi balik ke KLIA.
