two days in Gold Coast City

First, I rode an amphibious vehicle "Adventure Duck."
It was able to move on land and water.

I enjoyed traveling the Gold Coasts' roads
with "Adventure Duck."
I got excited at a great splash when "Adventure Duck"
got into the water.

Gold Coast is famous for its SURFERS PARADISE.
It is famous for its World Heritage National Park--
Lamington National Park. It is the largest preserved
subtropical rainforest in Australia.

There were easy walking tracks throughout the park.
I enjoyed walking along some of them.
I was surprised to see colorful birds, too.

I spent most of my free time on its beautiful, long sandy beach
near the hotel where we stayed.

As it was winter, the beach was not crowded.
I was surprised some people were swimming in the sea.
I asked one of them if the water was not cold.
He said, "Oh, very lovely. It's warm."

I was never tired of watching the sea spreading out before me.
I was alone but not so lonely.
