What the hell is a flying green song-rabbit?!

Grongbit (GReen sONG rabBIT) is the result of our nicknames combined. "Our" meaning the three founding authors. The flying comes from our guest-turned-permanent blogger, Butterfly Coffin.

And yes, rabbits can too fly, sing and be green.

Gold Coast: Dreamworld and Seaworld

Midori has updated!!

This is a super image-intensive post right now as it covers 2 days worth of photos which is a lot!

Day 2 of our GC trip we went to Dreamworld and everyone went, including Shu.


Midori and Bee. I'm gonna start calling you Bee now.


We actually left the apartment pretty late because it took us a really long time to decide on buying tickets (for once we all woke up pretty early -_-). We decided on Dreamworld though it was raining really hard when we got up to the mountains by bus and thought rides would be cancelled!

But when we arrived the rain stopped and the sun was starting to come out so all was good!


Walking to the first ride, the rapids one.





Got so wet after -_-



The first thing you see when you drive up to Dreamworld, the Giant Drop... super scary, don't dare go on it...


This is it... Midori and I were too chicken to go on it. This side was the other ride, forgot the name. On the other side is the Giant Drop.



Motocoaster ride which broke down halfway and had to wait for maintenance to finish. It took AGES LIKE ONE HOUR lining for this ride but it was pretty fun - too short lived, not worth the wait.







Tiger for people to pat.



Even a white tiger!!







On this kiddie ride near the Wiggle World section, this was a noob rollercoaster but not too bad. Quacho had his foot skim a tree during the ride WTF TOO TALL!





The rapids ride again.


Weird faces wtf.


More weird faces double WTF. Is it just me or do I remind myself of Ms. K...?



Food rest where there were chips, churros and snow cones aplenty.

We (Miiven, Kebu, Midori + crush and I) actually went on the rapids ride like 5 times in a row, I think we made that guy manning the ride's day! We rode on it until they actually closed the ride lol!!

Everyone else went to ride the Cyclone and other extreme rides without the rest of us sissy's.


Day 3 was a rest day for most people. Only Miiven, Wendy and her crush went to Seaworld while me, B, Josh and Quacho went to Pacific Fair and shopped O_O

Seaworld people went here, commentary is going to be done by Midori now since I didn't go:

Day 3 was Seaworld day!! When we got there a storm cloud was hanging right above us so all the rides were closed due to possibility of lightning. Instead we went to the sting ray feeding area.


Pat pat string rays! They had a massive pool only about 1m high where you could lean in and touch the sides of the sting rays and feed them!



Kebu bought a small container of small fish + prawns to feed to the sting ray. When the food was presented just above the water the sting ray would glide across the side of the pool and bite the food from your hands. It felt so weird! Like baby with no teeth biting....



Super creepy sea cucumbers


Pretty blue stingray



I try to0 take a photo of the sesame street sign and two people block my view to get into the photo...



Polar bear!





The polar bear was super cute. Like sooooooo cute!! It kept playing with this floating barrel, trying to wrestle it to the water floor and biting into it to release a stream of air bubbles. We only saw one bear though for some reason. The polar bears were so cute everyone bought a soft toy... except me


Pretty starfish...


Big aquarium



Penguins. Very tiny fairy penguins... seriously VERY tiny.


There wasn't much else to do so we went on the monorail that circled the resort while Minglez wanted to go on the log ride agai so Miiven went and did that. The view was so pretty =)


Therewas a pretty good Pirate show on that displayed acrobatic skill. The most impressive thing was probably when one of the guys lept into the water from the very top of that ship's mast. No safety equipment or anything!

There wasn't much else to do. Basically only 3 rides at Seaworld. There's a Bermuda Triangle ride that took you round a path before sliding down a big water slide. A log ride with a steeper slide but just went around in a semi square and a Jet Ski rollar coaster much like the motocoaster ride but heaps faster and they sprayed water in your face which was nice considering how sticky the weather was all day.

The other four people who went shopping at Pacific Fair:


Bus ride.


Bus and carpark entrance. Missed the huge sign though.








Outside section of Pacific Fair, all the shops were out in the open here.



Inside the shopping centre with AIRCON! Gold Coast is so humid, hate humidity.



End shopping result minus the board shorts Quach bought and the shirts Josh bought.



Bee listening to (a tiny) Morte hooked up to a (huge ass) headset.

Wooooo~
