Was pretty excited for this trip as this is my first time to Australia (ang mo country, Singlish translate).
Reach Gold Coast about *** and our tour guide waited for everyone at the Gold Coast Arrival Hall.
Gold Coast Arrival Hall
The tour guide told us to see our luggage tag that she issued to us at the Singapore Airport.
Yellow colour is Watermark Hotel. Blue colour is other hotel which I couldn't remember which one.
The first stop they alight us is Pacific Fair for breakfast and shopping (own expenses) for 1 or 2 hour plus.
Breakfast at Soul Origin, Pacific Fair
Pacific Fair Outdoor
Pacific Fair Indoor
WHERE TO BUY SIM CARD?
Bought Sim Card at OPTUS (the shop name) for Aud$10.
Next stop is Gold Coast Convention to collect out Race Bib.
HOW DO WE COLLECT OUR RACE PACK?
So basically they drop us at the convention and gave us like 1-2 hr free time to explore inside.
But before we head inside, there is a small counter outside the convention for us to collect our race bib.
They already collected for us.They will just distribute to us.
My Bib!
After collected the BIB and Drawstring bag, we head in to the convention.
I bought a tank top. (You can try the clothes there).
Took outside the convention. Pretty isn't it.
Scenic Travel Group Photos. Spot us!
So after convention, they alight us at our Hotel, Watermark.
When we went in the hotel, there is white board in the main lobby that wrote the itinerary. (like what time is the breakfast and what time is the race start etc)
There will be a seafood dinner buffet at 7.00 pm.
The tour guide pass us our hotel cards and we headed to our hotel room. Totally love our room as our window view is directly facing Sky Observation. The G-link is directly outside our hotel (Surfer Paradise) which I feel it quite convenient.
Taking selfies in the hotel

After resting for like 10-15 min, we head outside and walk around.
I'm finally here!
It cheaper but I think got T&C. Buy the tickets at Klook better.
Went to the beach and damnnnn it was so beautiful! Omg for a moment I feel like staying at Gold Coast permanently. HAHA.
Surfer Paradise Beach
Like shooting "Taeyeon - I" MV. HAHA!
There is night market at Surfer Paradise area which is Surfer Paradise Beachfront Markets and only open on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday which was just right for us.
Surfer Paradise Beachfront Markets
Didn't buy anything from there as nothing has caught our eyes. (But we didn't walk that much also).
After exploring around, we head back to our hotel for the seafood buffet dinner and rest.
So that's all for Day 1. Will be updating Day 2 soon.
WHICH HOTEL YOU STAY?
I stay at Watermark Hotel & Spa (but I think they recently change name to Voco Gold Coast).
Nearest G-Link is Surfer Paradise and opposite is the Sky Observation. Walk-able distance to other place like
