We went for a drive around parts of the Gold Coast, just to see any new developments. As we have been here for yearly visits during the last three years I have not taken photos this time of the usual Gold Coast areas known to overseas visitors, for example the Surfers' Paradise area.
The first stop was the Ferry Road market, where we drank the most delicious coffee, from a speciality coffee shop. Quite a long queue of customers waiting for their morning coffee fix.
The tropical fruit on display was especially alluring.
So I decided to purchase some of the fruit to make a fresh fruit salad, first choice was the papaya, beautifully displayed in front of the stall in the photograph below.
We drove around one of the very upmarket and expensive housing development areas on Sovereign Island, Paradise Point. Many of the houses are holiday homes, probably owned by overseas investors.
Grand,
and even grander!

One of the theme parks, Sea World perhaps.
And home for lunch and a swim. Just before the first storm broke over the Gold Coast. And then it rained solidly for two days.
