Tips for what you need

Guys, we are just going to give you a brief overview of this whole road trip idea. As you know, we do not have a car in Sydney, so we have hired a car. This is from Europe. You don’t need much—just your:
- Your passport.
- your driver’s license.
- your credit card.
You just have to give the details, and they will hire you for the car.
Hotel where to saty

Now, I would personally recommend this, of course, and the reason being we’ve had some trouble with this car, but it got sorted in 30 minutes. By the way, this is not sponsored—just a true, honest piece of advice from a loyal customer. We started around 1:30 a.m. from Sydney, and we thought we were a little late. But seeing the timing, I found that it was actually the best because we could see the sunset while we were in the car. We also stopped at Coffs Harbour, which was around 11:00, and now the check-in time at Coffs Harbour hotels is from 12:00. So we had one hour to go to one of the most wonderful lookout points before we had to check in. I think it was practically the right time.
Macquarie Lighthouse

Hey guys! So, in our adventure on the Gold Coast, this is our first stop. We are at Macquarie Lighthouse. Here’s the lighthouse, and if I have to say something about it, I think this place is real. It’s beautiful. So, this is our first stop. It’s amazing.
Our stop to Coffs Harbour was surreal, man. I mean, this is probably going to be the best vacation of my life because the places are so awesome. Just look at this! We were just waiting for the hospital to open because it opens at 8:00, so I haven’t been there yet. We’re on our way, and this place… my god, with all the birds flying around, my morning is made. Today is blissful.
Here’s the first sight of Coffs Harbour, where we call it the Forest Sky Lookout. Here, you get 360-degree views of Coffs Harbour. After this, we’re going to go quickly to the hotel. See you!
And that’s beautiful. We just came here for lunch and had fish and chips, some homemade ice cream, and now we’re walking all the way up there. Hey, right, so it’s a beautiful day.
So, this market is only open three days a week—Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. In this market behind me, you can find clothes, jewelry, accessories, home decor, and various other things. It’s a great market to visit.
Day three of our trip. I don’t think I’ll be able to do that ever. How we got the deal was through our hotel. We booked entry to three different theme parks for three days. Although we’re not going to share the blog, it’s comparatively cheaper than booking a single ticket every time. But yeah, that’s the deal. There are crazy rides and all the merchandise. If you’re a superhero fan, you’ll love it here, along with all the good food.
For today, we went to Wet’n’Wild, this water amusement park. We did one thing: we took off our shoes in the car because the rides are going to be all watery and wet, but we didn’t even bring our sandals. So, practically, our feet got burned because the car park was very far from this place. But all is well when the day ends well. So, today is the third day, and now we’re in the evening. We’re on the last day of the trip. I’m with Pradeep. We’ve never celebrated an anniversary because, let’s be serious, it’s breathtaking. So, we don’t usually celebrate, but for the first time ever, Pradeep proactively said, “Let’s go out for dinner.” That’s right, we’re here. And look how he’s smiling.
So, we’re at a Brazilian restaurant, having a buffet dinner, and it’s really good. For the first time, I’ve tried gambling. I thought we would just spend our evening together, have some good food, and enjoy the time. That’s it.
And this is the Gold Coast at night, guys. It’s beautiful. It’s mesmerizing.
