Imogen's Make a Wish Part 2 : )

Now where was I, day three, Monday, was rest day, I hear you laugh, The Holmes Gang – REST!!!. Well you got it right, Jason and Ashton would have loved to be snuggled up in bed, but unfortunately in our family that generally does NOT happen : P.

We hit the bus to Surfer’s Paradise, once again the weather forecast was predicting rain and miserable weather, but instead Surfer’s greeted us with sunshine. First thing we did when we got off the bus was do the tourist thing and hit the tourist bureau to book a ride on the Aqua Duck (thanks for the recommendation Sam : ). We then had till 1.45, to find something to do.

Within a few minutes in the shopping centre Imogen hit the jackpot (in her eyes) a Teddy Bear Making Shop. With the gorgeous girl that worked there she set upon choosing the skin for her new friend (a bunny), installing his button containing 5 phrases, stuffing him to her preference of softness or hardness, conducting a heart ceremony, the bunny getting sewn up, having his hair fluffed up, outfit picked and birth certificate print up. After this funny and thoroughly entertaining experience (the heart ceremony was very cute), we went to get a disc of the ton of photos we had already taken just at Movie world (who would believe, me with tons of photos). For lunch where else could we go to, but The Hard Rock Café. The food and service was great.

By then it was time for the Aqua Duck, we ran down to our meeting spot to find everyone was there and waiting for us : P. Hoped on and Ashton had a very bumpy feed all the way down to the river. The kids thought in was amazing how the bus turned into the boat. They then got to steer the boat, we got a tour of the canal and then when we exited the water a tour of the streets of Surfer’s included the car racing course. It was heaps of fun, and something we too would recommend.

After that it was a coffee buzz, and the bus home for a little rest. Another gorgeous day on the Gold Coast came to a close with kebabs and salad.
