Today we're going up the mountains!! haha.. Its the second out of the 3 day tours tt we joined.. O'reilly's and Mt Tamborine day tour.. got up super early tt day cos the pick up time was abt 0730hrs.. the agency said they had to pick us up frm our place and drop us at surfers to join the rest of the group.. erm.. actually all these while i din quite understand wat was going on cos the aussies speak with a funny accent and they speak too fast.. so i jus leave it for joy to handle.. haha.. the aussie slang was too CHIM for me to understand..
Anyways, after much confusion and wasting of our time waiting for the phantom passenger at sheraton mirage, we're on our way up the mountains! haha.. before we went up i asked joy whether there'll be curvy roads or smth.. she wasn't sure but i tot, up the mountains if not by those curvy roads den are we gona fly up there? haha.. so i jus poped my cinnarizine anyway.. i dun wana be puking all the way up ya noe.. i have motion sickness.. haha..
First stop of the day was to this Alpaca farm at the McPherson ranges.. Alpacas are this funny species where it looks like a camel+sheep.. oso can't figure out wat exactly it is.. but the scenery up there was BEAUTIFUL!!! I LUURRVEE that place!! very peaceful and relax feel.. took some pictures with the alpaca.. then we went on to the back of the farm house to have our morning tea!! we ordered a carrot cake and a lamington, and wat can i say.. they have the BEST carrot cake ever!!! literally got hooked by it okays! after tt we tried to find the same kinda carrot cake everywhere we go but its never the same.. I MISS MY CARROT CAKE!! haha.. okays.. can go to my facebook to look at the very nice sceneries there.. i can't find any better way to describe it lah.. see it for urselves.. haha..
Next will be to the O'reilly's.. [tee yu said it sounded like 'Oh really'.. haha] nothing much there.. did the tree top walk.. and fed some wild parrots.. haha.. at first i tot the tree top walk will take like 1 hr or smth to complete.. who knows its like less than 5 mins only!! haha... the more fun part was feeding the birds.. haha.. first time in my life i had birds on my hands lor!! they're so tame even thou they're wild birds.. they dun anyhow peck ppl like the crows we have here.. haa!
After feeding the birds we headed up to Mt Tamborine's Gallery Walk.. haha.. another lovely place.. had our lunch at the gallery walk cafe first and we had an option to either stay there for some shopping or go to the waterfall to see see look look.. ok.. this gallery walk is a place where ppl sell mostly their handmade things like handicrafts, quilts, ornaments, jewelleries, blah blah.. smth like a flea market but they're all in individual nice houses down the whole stretch of road.. like a small neighbourhood where everybody comes out of their house to sell things.. haha.. being me, of cos i'll choose to shop ard and see if i can find anything nice to bring back lah.. haha.. after walking ard for awhile i realised, the things they sell are jus damn bloody ex lor!! ok, u say its all handmade, which is why.. i think i can make it myself at a much cheaper cost.. haha!
Almost coming to an end of our day tour... stopped at a few lookouts on our way down.. but i was kinda tired so i closed my eyes for awhile.. the journey back home was super long! when we're down frm the mountains i tot we'll make a turn and be back to southport/surfers.. but after like 1 hr den i realised we're actually travelling towards New South Wales.. tts like another state already!! haha... but we're not going there of course.. cos another of our grp member was staying at Tweed Heads, jus next to the borders of New South Wales.. so somehow i've been to 2 states in this visit to Aus! haha..
Decided to drop at Surfers this time cos we wana have Baskin Robbins ice cream!! haha.. it made more sense to drop there directly cos den we save on our bus fare.. its really nice to eat ice cream when the weather is cold.. me n joy practically had ice creams EVERYDAY!! haha.. they dun melt so super fast like here in sg.. went to walk abt at surfers after the ice cream before we bought our McDonald's take away dinner.. oh well, its more or less like our Mac jus tt their burgers are really puny.. i tot the aussies are big eaters..
we met the most irritating/feel-like-slapping/thinks-his-blood-is-blue ang moh bastard on our way home.. their Mac dun provide u with carriers for ur drinks so u hafta hold it in ur hands.. so we were doing it and going up the bus.. den tt bastard[bus driver] din wana let us up the damn bus cos he says we have drinks on our hands and he's WORRIED that we might spill our drinks on the bus and someone else esp the children or any elderly steps on it, then slip and fall.. pui! trying to act good citizen eh? so we argued with him for like 5 mins and my blood was almost boiling.. so i jus said we'll make sure we dun spill it.. with nothing left to say, he LL and let us board the bus.. and jus when we're walking towards the back of the bus, we saw like ppl eating ice cream at the back lor! obviously his own colour ppl lah.. and there were ice cream wrappers on the floor too.. so u mean ppl wun step on the wrapper and fall meh?? kaozz.. trying to play colour.. WTF!!
Wat a way to end our day sia... Grr..
