Gold Coast Vacation - 2009 ( Part 3 )

Hummm, sorry laaa dah agak overdue laaa citer Gold Coast nie...bz sket, takder masa nak update...
So here the story goes....

Day 3
Check out from Tangalooma Island to Country Paradise
As usual, pagi2 lagi dah kena siap2 nak check out. Pagi tuh cuaca agak sejuk....hujan, so best sebenarnya kalo dapat sambung tido. After breakfast, kitaorg tunggu kat jetty nak balik ke Brisbane. Cuaca tak menentu, kejap hujan..kejap berenti, pastuh ujan balik...We departed from the jetty lebih kurang pukul 9.. This time the boat is smaller than the one kitaorg naik semalam. Setingkat jer...and takder open area..Mmg boring lah...Memandangkan cuaca tak menentu, mmg laut agak bergelora laaah jugak...Masuk2 jer dalam boat, mmg dah terumbang ambing...Dalam hati aku, mintak2 fayyadh jgn laaa buat hal dalam nie, tak nak tido ker aper....silap2 mmg aku boleh muntah...ngan peningnya ngan nak melayan fayyadh lagi kang...Alhamdulillah, fayyadh pon tak meragam...sib baik dier pon tido jugak..sumbat botol susu, tepuk2 sket....mmg dier tido...nasib baik..So sepanjang2 journey tuh, mmg sumer org bantai tido...sebab pening kepala...

Arriving at Brisbane Wharf to Paradise Country
Sampai jer kat Wharf, pak supir kitaorg dah tunggu....so load barang and off we go to Paradise Country. The journey took us about one an half hour....and this time kitaorg ikut Brisbane City....so merasalah jugak tgk town dier cam ner....Arriving at Paradise Country around 12.30 pm. Paradise Country is a famous Aussie farm tour, where the tourist can experience to cuddle a koala, kangaroo and sheep too.....Sampai2 jer kitaorg tgk kambing biri2 nyer show...Mak datukk kambing dier...bapak besoo...!!! Mmg besar..bulu dier lebat gilerrr...kambing dier sumer gemukss2...gebu jer...ahahhaaa. Pastuh tgk laaa cemaner diaorg cukur bulu kambing tuh...dari lebat2 jadi togel...ihiihihihii. Then we had our BBQ lunch...ala2 cam cowboy style...ok, sedap aaa jugak, tak pun kitaorg dah lapaaa...ahahahahaa :P

Then, gie tgk koala...Mmg giler manja and pemalas gak laa diaorg nie...Dok atas pokok...agak2 sengal jer...nak amik kena berdukung, pastuh tergantung jer kat badan..ala2 cute laa gitu. Kitoarg pon amik laaa gamba ngan koala...Next tengok kangaroo pulak...Dia macam dalam satu kawasan...pastuh lepaskan kangaroo2 nie dalam tuh....Kang tengah jalan2, selamba jer kangaroo tuh melompat2 depan kitaorg....ehehehe. Seronok laaa jugak....merasa laaa jugak dapat pegang kangaroo. Next tgk horse riding show...ala2 cam cowboy ranch laaa...ala2 stunt naik kuda sambil berdiri laaa, macam2 lah...Pastuh, tgk plak boomerang punya show....Basically tempat nie biasa jer laaaa, takder laaa syiokkk sgt...bebudak maybe seronok laaa dapat tengok binatang2. As for me, it's my first time experience dapat pegang and tengok kangaroo and koala....

Checking in at Aloha Apartment
Around 5.00pm..off we go to check in at Aloha Apartment. Apartment nie btol2 depan laut..mmg best giler laaaa...and we all duduk tingkat atas sekali...tingkat 15. Amik suite apartment...mmg puas hati giler laaaa..besar - ader dapur, hall, master bedroom. Dapat laaa rehat2 sket petang tuh....and paling best we will stay here until the day we go back...so takder laaa berpindah - randah lagi....

If I'm not mistaken, that day was an Earth Hour Day....So we all planned to switched off the light jugak..eheheheee. As for dinner, we all masak2 kat rumah. Makan nasi, lauk kari ngan telur dadar..hummmm lazat. So well all pun makan ler dalam gelap....ala2 candle light dinner..Looking foward nak tgk apartment lain bergelap, sadly tak ramai yg participate to switch off the light..reason being maybe ramai tourist kot yang malas nak layan mender nie...kkekekekekkee

End of day 3...

Gold Coast Vacation - 2009 ( Part 2 )

Day 2
Check out from Islander Resort Hotel to Brisbane Wharf to Tangalooma Island

Pagi2 lagi kitaorg dah nak kena check - out from Hotel sebab nak kena ader kat Wharf pukul 9am. Journey to the wharf took us about one and a half hour. Arriving at the wharf lebih kurang pukul 9 and the boat departed around 10am

Boat dier okay laaa, besar and ader 3 deck lagi....upper deck is the open area. So mostly kitaorg lepak atas tuh, amik angin and seperti biasa posing sakan laaa kan...and enjoying the nice scenery to the island across the beeautiful Moreton Bay. Fayyadh pun okay, tak mabuk laut ker aper.....so main jer laaa kerja dier kan..nak jalan2 keliling boat tuh

Arriving at Tanglooma Island
Arrived at the island around 11.30 am...Once arrived we have a short tour around the island while waiting for check - in. Tangalooma Island - an untouched national parks surrounded with white sandy beach and deep blue clear water. Mmg best lerr lepak resort tuh....sgt exclusive. Actually byk activity boleh buat kat situ such as diving, Safari Tour and ATV Quad Bike Tour. But the most main attraction in this island is feeding the dolphin....Yuppp, naturally each evening a group of 8 - 9 bottlenose dolphin will swim near the jetty and the guest have a chance to hand feed them......so rombongan cik kiah pon register laaa untuk bagi dolphin tuh makan

Nak tunggu bagi makan dolphin tuh is around 7pm....so basically kitaorg just lepak2 bilik, berehat mandi pool dan bersantai di laut...

Around 7pm, rombongan cik kiah pon bergerak laaa ke jetty...dah mmg agak ramai org time. Awal- awal tuh tak byk yang datang dalam 2 -3 ekor jer.....around half and hour...tetiba jer dah ader banyak kat situ....best laaa jugak dpt tgk dolphin dekat2....raser cam nak swim jer ngan dolphin nie. Dolphin nie bukan diaorg bela tau...i mean letak dalam kurungan...all the dolphin dtg from the deep sea to the beach...so basically mmg dolphin yang liar laaa kan.

So maser yang ditunggu pun tiba....after a short briefing and explanation, we all waiting patiently for our turn......Aku angkut jugak fayyadh pergi tepi beach tuh so that dier bleh experience benda tuh...dalam hati jgn laa fayyadh nie jerit ker, nangis ker , cuak and takut plak kan nampak dolphin besar tuh...kang lari sumer dolphin plak....

Time tunggu nie, ader satu benda klakar jadi...

Fayyadh jerit...ummi, ummi..semuuttt!! Dalam hati aku, cemaner fayyadh leh nampak semut kat atas pasir2 yg halus tuh kan...sgt ler tak logik.. semut, semuutt...!! fayyadh jerit..aku pon pergi laaa dekat....rupanya2 ketam kecik laaa...adoilaaa sakit perut aku gelak...takut plak dier ngan ketam tuh kan..menjerit2 nangis..adoi lawak laaaaa

So, sampai jer turn aku.....aku amik ikan fresh yg diaorg dah sediakan. Sambil gendong fayyadh, aku jalan laaa masuk laut sampai paras peha.....aku letak tgn aku yang pegang ikan tuh dalam air...and a few second...datang dolphin tuh sambar ikan tuh...hahhaaaaaaa...mmg best gilerrrrrrrr...!! Nasib baik fayyadh pon tak nangis....dier okay jer..tak nangis langsung....so everyone dpt 2 kali chance.....2nd time aku dapat touch dolphin tuh...waaaaaa....mmg bessttt...one of my amazing and unforgettable moments...!!! Dolphin yang datang kat aku tuh nama dier Rani...tapi during this session, kitaorg tak leh amik gamba sendiri, sbb katanyer..dolphin takut ngan flash light tuh...so kena pakai professional photograper laaaa.... nanti ader maser aku scan aa gamba tuh...ihihiiiiii

End of day 2.....
