this city is called Surfer’s Paradise, on what is known as the Gold Coast of Australia.

Luis and i have two days off after his tour, we will be in the city of Brisbane.

Unfortunately I think the Great Barrier Reef is a little too far of a trip to make in two days. so instead I think we will go here, it’s an hour south of Brisbane

and i think we are going to stay at the Marriott resort..

this is a picture of their “private saltwater lagoon”

and from what i can tell, most hotel rooms in Australia aren’t very nice. they are tiny and spartan with beds that look like they came from a motel 6 here in the US. so that will be interesting.

BUT this hotel has really nice rooms and bed.. like a luxury beach resort in America.. and in this case i think thats a good thing…
