Kylie took us around Southport right up to the spit with little hidden coves off the main land. We even spotted the floating chapel and then walked around the marina till we came back to Palazzo Versace for our very sumptuously opulent dinner. Decadent it was. Do not miss Vanitas Restaurant if you are about Gold Coast. Sitting by the waterfront with a gentle cool breeze on our back under a jet black starry sky does sum up a fine dining experience. You have to be there to experience it. The main course is about $40 per person. The night rolled on by too quick.
Next morning even though we had plans for Mt Tambourine we gave it a miss hoping that will make us come back for a visit soon. We were a bit short of time and I was keen on Burleigh Heads and to check out both Oskars and Mermaids. Unfortunately there was time only for one. Mermaids it was. Great view of the Gold coast from this waterfront Restaurant. The food very average here though or maybe we were expecting better having had the nice Vanitas experience the previous night. The Jetstar on board magazine had pointed out as this being a must visit location as surfers go right past your table and the food being palatable, well the food for me was a bit of a let down but the view was gorgeous. And yes surfers do go right past your desk. Tick on that one 
We caught up with Kylie for lunch and then headed down to Coolangatta and then to Danger Bay at Tweed Heads before we went back to the airport. It was all coming to an end but it was fun filled and quite a welcome change from the freezing Sydney weather. I’m not biased clearly. I have said it before and I will yet again. Queensland is beautiful. Fascinating! Stunning! No wonder they say “its beautiful one day and perfect the next“
