Brisbane via Gold Coast to Byron Bay

A great break at Glen’s grand-parents that are living just outside Brisbane city. There is something so special that older generations bring to us… Knowledge, food and warmth!

I was looking forward to that ride to Gold Coast. I have done it several times by car, it was kind of weird to do it this time on a bike. Ah, well I just love the feeling of being on my bike every morning, travelling through amazing sceneries.

Gold Coast being a short stroll from Brisbane, we had time to stop there and check out the new ‘hot spots’. It was busy there, very busy for a winter day – but how good is winter up there about 28 degrees!
I forgot how Gold Coast has so many activities for families and sports addicts. I look forward to take my family there and experience those great theme parks. We stopped by for a coffee break in the main street and I ended up meeting with the “Mermaid Meters”! … some might think that after living in Australia for over 10 years, I would have heard about them but I didn’t. I won’t explain any further for now, sure the series will unveil what those mermaids are!

Our next destination: Byron Bay via the coast. Now, that’s some great riding roads. Bring it on!
