Movie World

After 5 days in Palm Cove, Cam and I boarded the plane for Brisbane with our ultimate destination being Surfers Paradise and the Crown Plaza.

A trip on the airbus saw us collected by a real limo and dropped off at our Hotel. We went for a stroll into town - it is like Oxford Street!!! - and then settled in for a night of in house movies (Batman Begins!!).

The next day we headed out to the Pacific Fair shopping centre (courtesy of the...hmm..Crown plaza courtesy bus!). I had never been there before - this place is mostly outdoor like a marketplace. I brought some jeans, a top and a book...oh and an ice-cream from Copenhagen..yum!

Cam and I under the sign!

Day 3 saw us heading to Warner Bros Movie World.."Hollywood on the Gold Coast"! I had been twice before (it is a favourite of mine) but this was Cam's first visit. The good thing about this place is that they are always updating the attractions so there is always something new. This time round we saw Shrek in 4D (4D means the chairs shake etc..) and there was a matrix exhibit and street show. We also saw the Police Academy stunt show and the looney tunes music review. Cam did not take kindly to the batman simulation ride (I must admit I had a mini anxiety attack when they ushered us into a small room and warned us to wear seatbelts and hold on!!).

Cam poses with a saucy catwoman; we pose with wonder woman and her crew; some dummies from the matrix exhibit.

All in all, it was a good day but we did leave thinking that it was a small theme park in comparison to some. We are keen to see what that Superman ride can do though!!!
