Honeymoon – Day 11: The Gold Coast, Australia

We awoke on the 11th day of our honeymoon to yet another beautiful day on the Gold Coast.

After little discussion, we decided there was only one place to spend our day – the beach!  We headed out and walked along the Gold Coast’s lovely shore, stopping a few times for a flat white at a beachside cafe or dips in the water.

As the sun began to set, we headed back to the Sofitel to freshen up before enjoying dinner at a beachside restaurant.

After dinner, we headed back to the balcony of our room at the Soiftel Hotel Gold Coast to enjoy the champagne they were kind enough to send up in celebration of our honeymoon.

After taking in the sparkling lights of the Gold Coast skyline, we set out to explore Jupiters Casino in Broadbeach.  Can you believe I had never been to a casino before?!  Jupiters was fun for the evening and not at all what I expected a casino to be like – the atmosphere was more reminiscent of a 1950′s ratpack film than ‘The Real World: Las Vegas‘.

  1. Hello, hello!
    I was curious to see who The new black is black would be and surprise – I found a new blog that entertains me!
    I am surprised, how well you can wear black and only black. Looking through your past postings the answer is this: Your smile is the perfect accessoire. I love your smile. :-)

    I guess by now you are back in Seattle and writing about your honey moon?

    Belated best wishes from Vienna!
