BEEN to Surfers Paradise today on the Gold Coast of Australia.
It's breathtaking!
I got carried away a bit, got stripped off and ran in to the warm sea - not even thinking about the sharks that are there!
The rip in the water was so strong it kept knocking me over.
I've not spoken to 'the missus' yet but I think the house is going up for sale when I get home - I found paradise today!
I fell in love with the place. Don't let the clouds deceive you, it was a scorcher.
This place has meter maids, too - girls who roller blade round in gold bikinis topping up your parking meter when its about to run out (to keep the tourists there longer). Do you think this will catch on in warrington?
Going for a beer at Manly leagues club in Brisbane tonight, where Wally Lewis and Greg Dowling started playing. Hopefully see some famous faces.
Might see some of you back in King 'n' Queen, then again - might not!
