Our last day at the Gold Coast, and yesterday we were able to go on a 2-hour cruise down the Nerang River from SeaWorld to Surfers Paradise and back.
Whilst on the cruise, we found out some interesting facts about the area from the captain, who was also a local.
He told us the origin of the name "Surfers Paradise": it was named after the local eatery when locals considered a name change.
He also pointed out the sea life and wildlife around the area. It was also noted that the number of houses built on islands and facing the river, with potoons around, so they could go straight to the water if need be.
All in all, we had a wonderful time of rest and relaxation. We also had some time last night to go to the beach and dip our feet, then to the spa and pool. It's been a great time, but it's time to pack up and head home. A really fun time...
