Gold Coast Day 2 - Before and after and after that.

Wednesday, 20 April 2022

Today Jon and the kids and their friends headed to Movie World for the day.  They had fun but did spend most of the day in queues by the sounds of it. In the 7 hours they were there they got onto 5 rides and spent the rest of the time queuing with a 30 minute break. One of the queues was 2 hours long, only slightly better than when we queued to see the Statue of David in Florence. The last time we went to Movie World was at the same time of year but only Tassie kids were on holidays so the queues were much smaller - checking back through my blog I can see that we only queued for up to 30 minutes for any one ride. 

So Movie World sounded like a dud pick except when we heard that other friends who went to Wet n Wild water park, queued for the day and got onto 4 slides.  Gosh.   

I spent the day relaxing at home then strolling to the shops to get my first haircut in over a year. Jo insisted I take some before and after photos so here we are:

Before the haircut:

 

After the haircut (looking serious about boogie boarding):

Once everyone got back from the park we joined our friends (who are all staying in the same apartment block) for a mexican dinner. It was a nice finish to the day.
