Bucket List: JETBOAT THRILL

             Dragged Ate Maria to join me in this jet boat ride at Circular Quay. Dressed in our purple ponchos, our adrenaline started to kick in when we sat in the jet boat while listening to the instructions. Luckily, our seat was in the front that gave us more thrills for 30 minutes. On the other hand, it is not only the ride that makes it exciting but the chance also to do sightseeing of Watson's Bay, Ruschcutter's Bay, and Double Bay. The jet boat operator was excellent in adding humour while doing his work. He also gave us signals if he is going to spin, power stop, hop and slide. We were given second shower when the jet boat do the power stop. Water started to splash to us but we couldn't help but laugh at each other. You can smell the salty and yucky sea water of the harbour. I highly recommend that you try this wonderful experience.

I have tons of overdue posts because of two things: (1) I forgot the password of my hotmail account and (2) LAZINESS. The latter is the most obvious reason I would say. Anyway, let me make up for those months I didn't post anything. So, let me share to you my fun-loving adventure with my dearest Paowee.

It was a long planning before this trip happened. We were considering our availability (he lives west coast while I'm in east coast) and our MOhNey. However, our eagerness and restless soul are very keen to push through the trip no matter what it takes (naks!) Finally, March 2012 (for 4 days) we explored the lovely place of GOLD COAST.

We stayed in the 23rd floor of Crowne Plaza (yikes...*boasting!!!*haha) that overlooks the beach and the surrounding suburbs. We felt that we are the children of business tycoons who can afford to finance this luxurious trip (*ehem*).

The view from our hotel room....Undoubtedly serene!

 Paowee mesmerise by the hotel swimming pool

 Because we are "adventurous", we decided to use public transport to go in every destination. Thanks to WWW for guiding us throughout the trip.

Our first stop was SEA WORLD. This is a 3 in 1 place -- marine mammal park, oceanarium and theme park. We enjoyed watching the jet ski hunks in their exhibitions. Nothing compares to the heartwarming dolphin show. And lastly, we ventured into the rides of the theme park. We are confirmed cowards but we tried to prove that in the deepest of our heart is brave warrior...haha!

The photo in the left side shows the way we conquer the pressures of other riders giving us...haha







For the love of SEAFOOD Basket with chips ;) 

This is INFINITY. It is a maze with futuristic themes, music and illusions. Each part of the maze will give you a different experience. The crew said that it will only take 20 minutes to go around but it took us 30-45 minutes before we could go out. There was a part that I couldn't help but scream like in a horror-suspense-thriller movie. I even shouted "Please tell them to stop, Paowee. Please. Please. Let's go out now." Then after a while, we both ended laughing at our experience.

The second stop: MOVIEWORLD. A place to meet the Warner Bros. characters.

Strolling the beach of Gold Coast. Walking distance from our hotel.











Third stop: WET n' WILD WATERWORLD. Water park with lots of rides and the exciting wave pool.

One of the highlights of this trip is our dinner date at Hilton Hotel. This is not the dinner that I will likely to have every month but it is good to experience First Class service once in my life. 

We enjoyed the trip so much. Until the next destination: Adelaide, Australia. Will post next time ;)
