KAI SEONG (Samuel's younger brother) & his family were in town again this week, and spent 2 nights with us. We enjoyed having them & baby Isaac with us. Jordie is so pleased whenever Isaac points to him when asked where is 'koko'? now the big brother koko concept slowly registering...
On 19 Nov (Wed), we brought them to Currumbin Beach, which has a nice cove so its waves are not too rough, but it was still too windy that day. Had been raining on & off for past 2 days...
That's Hui Xi, my sis-in-law, she is "jaga"-ing (watching) baby Isaac who fell asleep in the car, and well, is also actually not a beach fan, so staying off the sand that day.
But look at Jordie on the loose!! no stopping this guy from diving into the sand. he loves it ....
CAR BOMBERS:
Cute white seagulls perching there contemplating whether to "bomb" another nuisance car. Obviously, the $1500 fine against dogs on beach suits them just fine... , 'yup, get those irritating canines off our territory.. enough intruders already..."...
Next, we went to
Surfer's Paradise & had Italian at La Porchetta's. Ordered pizza, pasta, steak, & fish. Here's Papa bear & baby bear tucking into yummy pasta. Look at them go!
It was a rainy day so, we didn't really walk much downtown, but just took a few pictures. Jordie enjoyed wheeling Isaac on his stroller, ...
A LITTLE HISTORY ON GOLD COAST:
CAVILL AVENUE and its extension, the Cavill mall, in Surfer's Paradise were named in honor of James 'Jim' Cavill. This Brisbane hotelier had helped to popularise the area as a tourist attraction. Cavill was one of the pioneers of development on the Gold Coast, Australia. Many years after initial entrepreneurial endeavours failed, James Cavill purchased 25 acres (101,000 m²) of land in the Elston subdivision. He built a hotel, which he named the
Surfers Paradise Hotel. James Cavill was heavily involved in the early promotion of the Elston, and lobbied hard for the name change to Surfers Paradise (the same as his hotel). The Elston area was slow to take off, but when it finally did, the local newspaper men labelled it the Gold Coast and in 1958 it became the official name for the town.
This year is the 75th anniversary of Surfer's Paradise.
