This is the fourteenth and final Highlight. What better than some panoramic views from a great height? So we ride up to the Skypoint Observation Deck on the 77th floor of the Q1 Building, Surfers Paradise.


We took lots of photos of the fabulous views and had Tacos and salsa for lunch in the bistro. All around us enthralled tourists were taking selfies and posing in front of every window: and when the photography fest is over you just feel impelled to gaze in wonder.
The last time I was up here with Abigail was in 2007 when she was 13 years old.

A few changes since then!
















Later after we had torn ourselves away from the Skypoint Observation Deck, we descended once more to the street and walked to the beach.

A walk through Surfers Paradise.

Nice to see you and your daughter in Australia! I went to Perth when I was 21… many years ago. I have relatives there. 🙂
