After a very short night, we wake up to   5:30 in the morning with the sunrise. I can not describe that moment so it's magic, we get off the van   direction   range, q hat was our surprise to see so many people running on the beach so good now, but we understood why. 2:00 after that is to say the sun 7:30   dominates and it is very hot, at the time they go home and after they go to work. Meanwhile, we continue to walk and took photos of surfers, the legend of super surfer paradise. The more hours spent over my stomach demanding food, we returned to the same ad yesterday, I took an Australian breakfast (bacon, eggs, tomato, garlic bread, a kind of bread with garlic). After breakfast we take this road to continue to rent a vehicle. We stop after several dealers in a small or has my husband noticed a Nissan 4X4 fully equipped, he went around it and then we booked. The seller was very friendly we even offered us the car back to Cleveland, where   we take the ferry to the island of my stepfather. Then we go back to Capalaba to retrieve chairs and a table in my super wood stepfather had reserved we reach grandparents and our daughters to Victoria Point. One might think that the day is over but not at all, we continue our journey in the stores, my step father had to buy equipment. An hour later we were on the ferry, crossing ¾ and then we are on Macklay. When the barge arrived at the edge, the van would not start, the battery light was on. At this moment there we thought was out of power (we do not laugh). Without panic we tried a second time, in vain, but here in Australia, people who were with us on the barge helped us right away without hesitation. Two men led the van so we can get off the barge and another gentleman started to tow, the latter being a neighbor of my beautiful parents. He arrived here in the 70s (1968), Canada. After these few years he lost his French, but we still talked, he was happy. In the meantime I called my step father to tell him the fault. He was furious, and after a few minutes we realized why we failed. The van has a gas tank and gasoline, and since it is cheaper to drive with gas, we probably triggered the wrong button. So we réessayons again, and we left, but this gentleman has gone before us to see if we still do not fall down. We can be on the other side of the earth and thought it was a   world declined   but people are paying attention, and as soon as we have a problem they come to us. So back home, to fine parents, great laughs when we tell.

Early departure on the mainland to get a car and a trailer wall after reflection, we have abandoned the motorhome. Here they are much more massive than in France and its price, and are not equipped the same, everything is luxurious leather, and the bathroom there is hardly a shower that is above the toilet (yes it's not a joke). So we opt for a 4x4 and a trailer (a big tent) ..

We are left with the camper van for my stepfather for the ferry that transports us across the continent to Victoria point, it takes ¾ hour to cross. And besides that morning we had booked the barge at 8:20 ET he arrived an hour later. Finally, there are the hazards of being on an island. We conducted   all day for the dealers to compare prices   and equipment.   Around 17:00 before night falls, we decided to descend on the Gold Coast, specifically "Surfer Paradise", the mythical place or all surfers are joined. But at the time we arrived around 18:30, it was dark So we parked the car and we walked on the beach which is 35 km   long, what a sight. The sand is very fine and white fun for my feet and we could not stop us from soaking the feet, the water   was hot with big waves, we stayed one hour as we were well .. Then we headed to the city center at night is really beautiful, we thought we were on the Riviera in Nice for those who know, but I have compared with Spain's Costa Brava,   so the buildings are huge and night   lit is what we   seen on the postcards that we sell. Subsequently we looked for a small restaurant, we came across a pub, good beer, we ate well for once it was not too fat and the waitress was very helpful especially to my husband, after this good meal , we walked in the store, we found an internet cafe since we brought the laptop we said we will take this opportunity to send our messages. 12 minutes of connection for $ 1 (€ 0.62), for us it seemed to us correct. We settle, then the seller comes to us when he saw that the keyboard was in French (Azerty) while they are in (Quarty), he was taken aback and did not seek to understand, fortunately My husband spoke English, told her the keys. He did not want to know, the connection does not pass, we started leaving him to finish watching the film that apparently was better than dealing with its customers. After that day anyway, we took the van to find a corner to sleep, we thought we park the van in a park, but at each entrance there was a sign prohibiting that tale   where to sleep in his car with a fine. Turn around and we looked for a dark alley between the buildings, we still do things to get ready for a big sleep. My husband fell asleep right away, it took me a little more time. Not much room above my head for me it was like it was in a coffin ... ... ... ....

We have an appointment to visit a camper, Victoria Point. Specifically at a department store or the lady   picks us up with a big 4x4 to take us home to see the super machine. The camper is a little old but renovated the interior wall after reflection we decided to wait a while, this allowed us to see one here in Australia because   is not the same as in France, here they are larger. The person escorted us to our starting point. Then we continued our walk in stores, as usual they all look alike. We recovered some prices, in general, all the bad food is cheap, while vegetables and fruits are expensive, do not talk about cheese and yogurt at the supermarket ALDI except, (and yes there are in Australia ) And all the while my daughters and their grandparents went to sea in a small canoe to ask crab traps, the first time they boarded a small boat, they were very happy
