Review: Bumbles Cafe, Surfers Paradise (Gold Coast, Australia)

Review: Malt House, Surfers Paradise (Gold Coast, Australia)

My husband and I initially wanted to have dinner at another restaurant but when we went there, we found out that it was closed.

Review: Surfers Paradise Beachfront Markets (Gold Coast, Australia)

This may be the first review on my blog about markets but it will surely not be the last because visiting markets is my go-to activity on ANY trip.
