Going for the water... and the sand


Beaches, theme parks, shoppings, golf clubs and fishing spots. That's Gold Coast, everyone knows about it. Other attractions are like Steve Irwin's Australia Zoo, some National Parks, waterfalls, some mountains, a fish market and you know what's the best thing that i enjoyed?

"Swim between the red and yellow flags."
(and dun get killed by a stingray)

Adding excitement to our winter holiday, we took pictures and videos with our olympus waterproof camera (850SW, if you are interested). Great isn't it? Yea, poor me, because later i found, it is not sand proof. Eventually all the fine golden sand found its way to every small openings on the camera casing until i noticed, i can no longer press the shutter button or turn the control dial easily. I was so depressed, okay! I ran to the nearest toilet and saved it by leaving the camera under running tap water for a few minutes. Whew...

After that, i went back to the hotel and tell myself not to do that again beach for more daring pictures... muahahaha...
