Day 3: Harbour Town + Brisbane + Surfers Paradise beachfront night market

Day 3 now! After breakfast, we made our way to Harbour Town to pick up where we aim to continue shopping up a storm! It was another long ride, but I like long rides :)

It was a fruitful trip! =D I've gotten new underwear from Kookai, a new Nike gym top (according to my StretchFit instructor, that colour cannot be found in Singapore!), an Esprit top for my sister and many more!


My shopping loot in front of the iconic Nike Factory Store at Harbour Town!

We had Turkish food, and boy the serving was damn big! But I managed to finish everything, sans the bit of vegetables. Then it was time to make a trip down to Brisbane for a walkabout.

We took a bus to get to Helensvale railway station where we'll be heading a train ride to Brisbane.


Here's where we are headed! :)

While killing time...




*Monster!*

Finally the train came and we were well on our way! Another hour long journey....





I don't know, but travelling in GC has been... really nice. This sense of tranquility can't be found when I take buses in Singapore, and I wonder why. I feel recharged everytime I get off the bus/train, but all the time when I'm back in Singapore though. I think it gotta do with the TVMobiles and irritating people who insist on sharing music with the whole bus. ^&#$%@#!

As we pass through the industrial area (my assumption), there were lots of graffitti on the facades of the buildings. :) Really interesting and pretty.

Soon, we are here!



This place feels like Orchard Road back at home :) Bustling. It's slightly warmer here in Brisbane, like walking in an air-conditioned bubble. We wandered around Brunswick Street and Queen St Mall...





Lovely architecture they have here :)









It was getting dark and it's time to head back to GC for some beachfront night market browsing at Surfers Paradise! The train ride back was slightly more crowded, but we got seats and we napped our way back :)


This beachfront market takes place every Wednesday and Friday. The Surfers Paradise Beachfront Markets has a selection of locally made gift ideas ranging from accessories, crafts, artworks, beauty products, homewares, jewellery and music. There was even a stall set up for palm-reading!


Now, we are gonna get some dinner at McDonalds' and head back for an early night because we're gonna be picked up really early the next morning. We ate at Macs, had some chicken fillet burger thingy that taste quite nice. Btw, you gotta pay for the sauces unlike here in Singapore. :)

End of day 3!
