It is similar to the standard of Holiday Inn, which will be mentioned later when Yunluo and Anchu meet California Highway 1 and travel to the US National Park.

Tomorrow we will take the highway all the way to Melbourne Airport. Start your next trip to Cairns on the Great Barrier Reef. While writing this travelogue, I learned that a forest fire broke out on the Great Ocean Road on Christmas Eve. Hundreds of houses were burned down, but fortunately there were no casualties. Good luck! Which one is more beautiful, the Great Ocean Road or California Highway 1?

The best location for self-driving along the road is the Pacific Ocean on the co-pilot side. As for California Route 1, you can choose from San Francisco to Los Angeles or from Los Angeles to San Francisco. It is recommended to choose from San Francisco to Los Angeles. This way it is very convenient to park and get off at various viewpoints to watch. In terms of scenery: Each has its own merits. Personally, I prefer the motorcycle culture and muscle cars in the United States. Key vehicles and oil are cheaper than in Australia.

When traveling to the Kuranda Rainforest Nature Park on the day, you can choose to take the Skyrail cable car to the Kuranda Rainforest and take the train back. Skyrail is currently the longest cable car in the world, and below it is a vast tropical rainforest. In the past there were no trains or cable cars.

Along the way, you can go to the winery in Tervalley, but unfortunately it¡¯s Christmas and you can¡¯t return the car in another place, so you can only fly directly from Brisbane to Sydney to return home. It only takes a few minutes to drive from the airport to the city. Lunch can be arranged in Huaguo City, because Brisbane is an industrial and commercial city. I saw many S-stores and Lamborghinis along the road. Very close to the City Hall is the Queen Street Shopping Center, which also houses shopping malls such as Myer and David Jones.

It turns out that surfing does not require a surfboard. Once you get into the water, you will understand that surfing is very simple. It was a cloudy day without the sun, and I was wearing a GoPro in the water. This photo really does not convey the beauty of Surfers Paradise. It feels a bit like the end of the world! Beautiful view of delicious food in Q building! Versace Hotel must be booked in advance, or it may be difficult to get a reservation. Not every place has a Versace Hotel, next to it is Sea World.

The restaurant must be recommended! I love their cups and tableware the most, none of which are sold by Moubao.

Later, Yun Luo and An Chu's travel notes about Eastern Europe will mention the specialties of these two countries. Coincidentally, there was a sale in the mall on Boingday, and it was more beautiful than the same model in the hotel. charismatic aoods.

If you can't stand eating seafood and Western food every day, you have to come here to experience it. It's more authentic than the Thai food Yunluo eats in Chiang Mai. Could it be that the boss used to be a royal family? The decoration of the shop is super luxurious. It would take an estimated few containers to transport these big things to Australia. When they saw the foreigner next to them ordering fried rice, they should really learn how to order. If you are tired of playing in Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast, you can go to the Italian restaurant downstairs at the Watermark Hotel. It also received five-star reviews from Padvisor on the tth day. Although some of the Chinese menus were probably translated by foreign students. The entire Gold Coast is still very suitable for family travel. ? Arrange a week¡¯s vacation here so you won¡¯t be idle every day.

Australia's airlines mainly include Qantas, Jetstart, Virgin, and Tiger, with the latter three being low-cost airlines. You can purchase air tickets through the official website and Skyscanner. Remember to choose and purchase air tickets based on the weight of your luggage. Remember, remember, remember! If you do not purchase checked baggage for luggage exceeding kg, you will have to pay hundreds of dollars more for shipping.

At this time, you can only go out of the arrival gate first. There is an airline service counter next to the baggage carousel. After the interrogation, you must take away your luggage and check in for the nearest flight again. They will not help you transfer your luggage to the new flight. During a thunderstorm, many flights were canceled and we had to wait in line for two hours. However, everyone was in a stable mood and there was no noise like at home.

The Sydney Fish Market is the largest fish market in the Southern Hemisphere, and you must go to try it. Here is the first attraction of this trip out of Asia, the first meal. If there are not many people here, it feels like it is not too expensive to order something. The processing fee is about Australian dollars per dish. Therefore, Yun Luo did not order any seafood to be cooked. What you must try when you come here is the oysters, they are amazing! Super delicious! Sprinkle with lemon juice. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Not fishy, ??but has a little bit of flavor, so delicious! The price is one Australian dollar, one Australian dollar??. I also ordered freshly grilled salmon. It was such a big piece that one person would definitely not be able to finish it. It was grilled really well, tender, juicy, and delicious. One piece costs Australian dollars. I also saw seafood skewers, which cost Australian dollars. The advantage is that you can taste several kinds of seafood at once. I don¡¯t really recommend the baked scallops. I personally think the taste is average. The price is Australian dollars, so there¡¯s not much advantage. By the way, by the way, the location here is quite popular. Be sure to reserve a seat first and buy the other one. . After eating, we walked around and watched the seagulls. (To be continued.)
