Adrenaline Gold Coast - Day 3

It's already Thursday 23 July 09!! Wow, does time pass when you are having fun. I was so reluctant to wake up as the gigantic bed I was on kept calling me back to sleep. "Irina... Go back to sleep and snuggle under the fluffy duvet amongst 4 pillows... Sleep..." I was very tempted but I was also looking forward to breakfast at Sage Cafe where we are to meet with racing legend Sir Jack Brabham and his son.The restaurant was very near 1Two3 where we had dinner that first night.

I ordered the traditional eggs and bacon with a strawberry milk shake. When the bacon and eggs arrived, I was mesmerised. Tne bacon was sooo thick! And it was swimming in oil. *Shudder* The eggs were a little wet and creamy as if they added cheese to it. I didn't really enjoy breakfast too much as the bacon was too salty and oily. It was very difficult to swallow the stuff but Donald tot it was fine and wolfed it all down. A great way to start the day - A cup of creamy strawberry milk shakeMy bacon, eggs and toast

Some other options
Half way thru my food, I suddenly noticed this very cute guy sitting outside being spoon fed by a girl. He was so cute I couldn't resist taking a picture. Actually through out the entire trip, I took so many pictures of cute guys that passed me by. Everytime I whipped out the camera, the guys would all groan as they knew what I was about to do ;Þ
Cute ain't he ;)

Ah, here I am talking about this guys I don't even know, I totally placed Sir Jack on the back burner... He's about 80+ now and hard of hearing but still quick on his toes when it comes to answering questions.

It was quite cold that morning and after breakfast, we made our way to Southport Surf Club on Suirfer's Paradise for the official launch of the Nitro Super GP by BAM Media.

I got bored so went walkabout the area takings random pictures.

They really got people's attention when they came out shaking their booty...
Ms Super GP. She was HOT and tall!
The sun suddenly came out and the temperature went sky high. Luckily it was not humid as I would have been sweating like a BBQ pig. The media were ushered to the beach front as they would be using sky divers to launch the event. They made us stand in the sun for 30 mins before we saw the first bodies falling out of the plane. Quite exciting when I first saw them ; )

It was a proud moment when I made out the Malaysian flag.
Safe landing on the beach front.
The team leader was an old man and he was carrying the biggests flag and executed the best landing. One of them actually landed in the water on his face. I had a good silent laugh the bad girl I am ;Þ

Once that wrapped, everyone adjourned upstairs to the mian area for the speeches, food and drinks. I took more photo's of the cutie hunky drivers as the place were crawling with them.
The Premier of Gold Coast Anna Bligh
was also there to support the event.
The Malaysian A1 car was also on display
which gave us free publicity

But the weird thing was, it was the only car available as the rest was dismantled being cleaned and under maintenance for the upcoming race while the Malaysian can was just sitting there.

The guys interviewed Alan Jones (in the sun mind you) and once the event was done, we were off to Harbour Town for a few hours of shopping bliss. And when that was not enough, John brought us to the Robina Shopping Centre which was huge! I had my worst meal there of fish and chips.
Robina Shopping Centre -
there was too much to see, too little time

We were lucky as today was late night shopping and the shops were open till 9pm. But the guys were tired and all spent out, so we headed back to the hotel about 8.30pm. Daniel was considering a trip to Hooters again but settled for directions there : )

After a blissful bath, I slipped under the covers, turned out the lights and meet slumber for a dreamy romp. Tomorrow's another exciting day - guns....
