everybody this is Jeff with
islandhoppper TV and today I'm coming to
you from Gold Coast here in Queensland
Australia so this is Surfers Paradise
where we're starting out all right so
this is my one hundred dollar hotel room
which is pretty much on par with the
average during the Gold Coast here we go
my view
show you guys other side here just like
an apartment so a pretty good price for
my bucks pretty good value another
balcony right here there you go okay and
here's a look at a $60 a night apartment
there's the bedroom there's the bathroom
I don't think we need to spend too much
time over here but you get the point
and then the living room and kitchen
pretty good
I guess that's $68 tonight this one does
not have a balcony though there's the
pool and I'm gonna walk you down to the
beach you can see this is a very modern
relaxed beach community kind of like a
Waikiki in a way except instead of
facing South West it faces east look at
this so if you're excited about seeing
Gold Coast crush up the likes and let's
get started
this sand look at the Sam this is some
of the silkiest white sand
this is just like Waikiki
but maybe even more interesting
it's great because this they don't have
like bars in the party area here it's
more like relaxation
maybe my enemies
there's no swimming flags
two down here
damnit I am tennis shoes
[Music]

areas and keep this tour going downtown

river kind of just meanders around here
creating this marshy swampland you can
see there's some boats ferry systems
going on here like you have SeaWorld
Cruises just along this river bank here
actually animals in the water such as
bull sharks believe there's even
crocodiles in here you just don't know
what's in there so it's probably not the
best river to swim in it's a little bit
rainy today but yeah the SeaWorld
