A rare Sunday..and pics from my Aussie honeymoon

Such a rare Sunday it is today, where I get to sit in my room at home alone.. got up at 5 plus this morn for the Shape Run.. very happy that I am back to such events and that I can find a great pal to run with.. its refreshing to be running outside the gym, cos thats what I do every weekday and it gets soo boring..

A big part of the Aussie- Gold Coast trip revolved around food, and its no surprise that it is so, cos Trav dearee is around! So I took pics of most of the food he ate, to remind him how much a glutton he was!

One of our 1st meals there.. actually the 1st was a huge kebab wrap which we shared.. this is s super long hotdog.. with tooo much mustard and tomato!!
The styrofoam box on the left is the Kebab on a plate..we ate that for 80% of our meals cos it was yummy and healthy at the same time.. meat, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, parsley, cheese..
We ate that so that we could have more junk!!
And the mushy green thing is guacamole dip--dont know how to spell it..
We made it from the avocados we bought at the fruit farm, along with some sauce which they recommended to make this dip.. it went very well with nachos!
And so this was how we ate dinner most days.. sitting at the balcony in the cold winter, eating, enjoying the superb vew of Surfers paradise and the beach..

Honeycomb was what I junked on most over there.... totally addictive!! We bought about 7 packs there and came back with only 4.. so I had 3 packs in 4 days??!

We had loads of ice cream there too! but still, Baskin Robbins was the best! Why issit not in Singapore??!

Food haven...we spent loads of time at the different marts they had.. woolsworth, coles, kmart.. If we ever migrate there, we sure will turn into piggies!

 
Boiled crab! They way I love to have my crabs! This was one of the best ive ever had, super huge pincers! Yummm!! And we had them just after they were caught on board

On the way to the catch a crab cruise...we had to cross a border, so this was the landmark.. Me on NSW and him on Queensland!

On the catch a crab cruise..the traps were already placed there the nite before with a whole fish in it.. our crabs must have been really greedy cos the entire fish was gone! Anyway,I guess we didnt exactly caught the crab, just kinda pulled the trap up!
During the catch a crab cruise, we also went off board to catch yabbies as baits for fishing.. it was really fun. We had to walk thru a muddy area, use a pump to pump them out from below the mud.
At the fruit farm, we went around on a tractor cos it was just too huge to walk around it.. and there was a lil train ride too! Very cute! Oversized pple sitting on it!
the ancient way of opening a macadamia nut.. and he stole soo many of it..! He hid them in the pocket
And one of my fav part of the tour was looking at little lambs and sheeps!! The sheep runway was really cute!!
