A few weeks ago we went down to Surfers Paradise for a weekend. Tina's sisters were on annual leave, so we decided that we needed to do something fun before they got back to work. So we found a good last minute hotel rate at the Surfers International Apartments and went down for the weekend.driver s3 trio 64 v2

The apartment was a large 2 bedroom apartment, with a reasonably sized balcony, and a large living area. And of course the complex had the obligatory pool, spa, sauna, and gym.driver s3 trio 64 v2

We spent the Saturday wandering around Surfers, going to Infinity (difficult to describe, but a special efforts experience that you walk through), and of course went up to the Q1 Observation Deck at the top of the tallest apartment building in the world (20th tallest building).driver s3 trio 64 v2

On the Sunday we went to SeaWorld since none of us had been for about 3 years. Since we last visited they have added the 'SeaWorld Eye' (small version of the London Eye), which gives some good views of both the theme park, and the surrounding area.driver s3 trio 64 v2

All in all, it was a good weekend trip. The next one will probably be up towards Noosa on the Sunshine Coast.driver s3 trio 64 v2
