today is fail day.

we went to surfer's paradise/broadbeach today. it was FAIL.

1) we waited 35 mins for the bus to come to the stop outside our place. 2.90 to ride to the train station for what would have been about an 8-10 min drive.

2) 2 hours later, we were still on the bus (another bus) rocking our way slowly there.

3) we reached our destination. pacific fair shopping centre, and started walking to the beach. the weather was nice then

4) when we reached the beach, it started to drizzle. then POUR.

5) we had lunch indoors. after lunch we went out, it was still pouring. winds were so big that it blew my poor defenceless umbrella inside out like 1000000 times. holding the umbrella was like a chore. keep having to switch directions according to the dumb wind

6) spent the rest of the day indoors walking around sianedly at some other shopping place. all drinks are EX. bottled coke, sprite etc? 3 AUD.

7) took the bus back at 4.40pm. STILL raining.

8) got back to the station at 5.45pm.

9) waited till 630. asked bus 3 (which we took in the morning) if they went back to our street. no. according to him 726 would go. asked 726 when it came along. (reply: bus 3 or bus 725). asked 725 when it came along. (reply: bus 3 or bus 726)

10) so that's when we decided if we continued waiting like that for confusing answers, we'd nv get home. we took a cab. it was now 5 times more expensive than the morning's fare.

today is FAIL day.
