When we woke up the next morning we found ourselves in paradise. The apartment was so luxurious (we were used to living in hostels, cars, tents^^)

Our host Akshar left at 7 o’clock and we started our day (showered, had breakfast and went for a swim in the swimming pool/sea). Then I saw an ad for a job in the newspaper and called there immediately. We got the job. (delivering phonebooks).

When we had arrived and were about to start we realized that we hadn’t got our TFN (it takes so long here to order the TFN UNBELIEVABLE!) . If we had signed the contract  we would have lost 50% of our sallary. So we decided to cancel the job and  went to the CBD in Surfer’s Paradise. Walking along the Surfers Paradise Boulevard, we surfed on benches^^ ( even the benches look like surfboards here) and returned to Akshar’s apartment in the evening.

We decided to ask Akshar whether  we could possibly expire our stay at his comfortable apartment in Surfer’s Paradise,  and started to prepare our dinner.

Last night for the first time I slept in my car. I didn’t want to expire my stay in the hostel, so I decided to sleep in front of the hostel (at the carpark ^^) When I was awake,  I started to prepare all my food for my trip. At 11 o’clock I picked up Jan from the Greyhound bus station and showed him some nice parts of Byron Bay.

Then we started our tour to Surfer’s Paradise.

On our way we enjoyed to talk to each other, we had a lot to tell each other,  we visited the Burleigh Head National Park ( photo) and went shopping ( air mattress, gas-cooker, darts, snorkel equipment, pillows, sheets, curtains and an air pump; we decided to buy a manual pump not an electric one 😛 that was not a good idea…) In the evening when we were preparing the car for to sleep in, we recognized that the pump didn’t fit ( so it took us  ages ^^ to pump up the air mattresses). Tomorrow we will definitely buy an electric pump. ^^

We checked whether we could couchsurf somewhere (some days ago I had done some researches for couchsurfing-possibilities in Surfer’s Paradise and one guy had told me to call someone called „Akshar“  on Sunday). So we called Akshar, and he said, that it won’t be a problem (he has rent an apartment in Surfer’s Paradise). We parked the car in front of the beach and met Akshar, a very nice guy of about 30 years,  who welcome us to stay in his apartment (we could use the washing-machine, dryer and we were left to our own devices) 🙂 The apartment is so amazing 🙂 (a big flatscreen, two leather sofas, a balcony with a wonderful view) we enjoyed a very nice time there ( cooked, watched TV, had good conversations with Akshar, went swimming in the pool, tried Nando’s Peri Peri:D ) and decided to walk around in Surfer’s Paradise the next day.:) to take some photos and sightsee this huge city with all its skyscrapers in daylight.
