Gold Coast Food & Wine Festival. (We didn’t let the team down!

Marty & I went to the Gold Coast Convention Center to go to a clothing liquidation sale. What a disappointment, no wonder they were in liquidation?!

So as there was also a food & wine festival on, we thought we would indulge ourselves & paid our $16 each entry fee collected our wine glasses & in we went…...

Beer, wine, liqueurs, breads, dips, cheese, coffee & more……. By the time we had got to the end of the second isle we were aware we would not be driving the car home. “What you’re meant to spit it out”!!!!…. Ahhhhh I don’t think sooo?!!! We went round three times, we didn’t let the team down hahaha.

On leaving we put our purchases in the car, a bottle of Tawny Port & the yummiest White Liqueur Muscat - That I don’t want to share?!!

We checked out Broadbeach, went for a ride on the mono-rail & then into Surfers for a bite to eat. Mmmm pizza & a cocktail.

Caught the bus home, watched a couple of movies while waiting for the time to pass so we could go back & collect our car.
Another bus ride (at this hour of the night the bus smells like the pub) back to the Convention Center, & sitting behind us is a very drunk & embarrassing Kiwi, who is trying to have a conversation with a Korean Guy sitting next to him, who speaks very little English so our Kiwi bloke has to repeat himself.
“The chicks here at Surfers are really HOT aye HOT. You’re a pretty hot guy? Bet you pull the chicks” he continues.
Most of the bus can hear this conversation & I am just wishing he would ‘shut up’ or get off the damm bus!!! Eventually he did with Marty confirming
“this is your stop bro, this is where you need to get off man”.
What a relief & what a laugh.

Midnight found us back in our car & heading to ‘Mc D’s’ for a midnight feed, which we took down by the water to eat.
