Pulling a Simon in Surfers Paradise

It took some time but I finally arrived on the Gold Coast of Australia. Totte (see friends), Oscar (friends through Totte) and Simon (married to Tottes cousin, Carolina) picked me up at the airport in the evening of the 21st. During those 28 hours of travelling I managed to piss off a colleague, sleep a few hours in my comfy business class chair, smoke a cigg in Kuala Lumpur and loose my luggage in Sydney. However, I was too excited to be sleepy when I finally arrived.

We went to Simon and Carolina in Surfers Paradise, which would be our (me, Totte and Oscar) home for the next two days. Their house was out on Florida Gardens in Surfers, which is sort of a peninsula - very nice and cosy house by the way! Totte, Oscar, Carolina and Simon pampered me from the very beginning by preparing frozen margarithas and dinner - food and drink, that's pretty much all it takes. We enjoyed a fantastic seafood dinner in their garden while listening to the very green frog whose voice was disproportionately huge compared to his body size. The night ended at a night club in Surfers together with Lill-Janzon (BG's little brother who works at Charlie's - a shitty restaurant) and his friend. Oh yea, Totte managed to wake up Carolina and Simon in the middle of the night as well. No Comment.

A big thank you to Carolina for taking such good care of us all the time. Also a big shoutout to my main Ozzie-bloke Simon who craked us up and boosted our egos all the time. The coming days in Ozzie-land, me, Totte and Oscar "pulled a Simon" when we were lovebombing eachother.
