Day 2: Gold Coast & Glowworm Night Tour

We left Tangalooma early the next morning. It was a wise choice for that day as it was rainy and we probably wouldn't be able to much if we had stayed any longer. Otherwise, I would think if the weather was good, I would have wanted to stay longer to do parasailing, quad biking, sand tobogganing and even feed the pelicans!

              Simple breakfast with bread, butter, cheese & fresh milk from the supermarket on the resort.

Our pre-arranged transport pick up by Surfcity Transfers was already waiting to bring us into Gold Coast. I wanna take this opportunity to thank Karen as she must have been one of the most efficient Aussies I have ever dealt with! Emails to her were responded very quickly, I can safely say within the hour and confirmation was initiated a day or 2 prior to the pick up, which was definitely assuring. The VITO was new & clean and most importantly, her price was the lowest amongst the few that I had sourced. Very value for money indeed. 

Accomodation was a huge 2 bedroom ocean facing apartment at Mantra Circle on Cavill. Very convenient indeed with direct access to Wooly's! 

After spending the afternoon picking up our groceries for our next few days, we all had a good rest to prep ourselves for our night tour of the rainforest at Mt Tambourine with Southern Cross 4WD.

Stopping by a cafe at Mt Tambourine for yummy cakes, fresh cookies & hot  cocoa before starting our tour

 

Darren was great with our kids, he has 2 sons himself!

Given that it's a night tour & we don't own super cameras, we didn't take any much photos of our tour at the rainforest. But with the rain, it was an almost perfect night! The glowworms glowed so brightly and we had a good experience, feeling what exactly a rainforest was, very very cool whilst being sheltered from the rain by the umbrella of huge trees.

Thanks Darren for a great night out! You sure have a knack to spot the smallest nocturnal creatures ever!
