We arrived in Surfers Paradise under the cover of darkness, because the only bus we could get out of Byron Bay was 9pm. However, even though it was dark it looked like a mixture of Vegas/Waikiki/Costa del Sol. So not the best first impression but I thought I'll see what I think in daylight. Our first night wasn't much fun either, as one of the girls in our 5 bed dorm, got a little tipsy with her ?boyfriend and they decided to try and get a bit "technical" in her top bunk. Me, Alan and the other 2 girls were not best pleased with their behaviour, but thankfully they decided that there wasn't enough room on the top bunk and so left the room.
Surfers Paradise is the jewel of Australia's gold coast, with its miles and miles of gorgeous beach and huge waves. Unfortunately if you don't surf or its too chilly to sunbathe, there really isn't that much to do or see. We walked along the beach quite a bit and dipped our toes in the chilly pacific.
The hostel had a list of top ten things to do in Surfers, so we decided to do one of them, as we had done most of the other attractions elsewhere. So we booked ourselves a night out at Draculas.
Draculas is a horror, comedy, cabaret restaurant/club. It is the only restaurant I've been too where you have to ride the ghost train to get to the restaurant/theatre.
It included a 3 corpse dinner which was excellent but the highlight was the dessert. This was advertised as death by chocolate, so I was expecting a chocolatey spongy dessert. However, what we got was awesome - it was a dark chocolate coffin with a coffee and Kaluha mousse centre, the coffin lid balanced on top with some raspberry coulis surrounding it. It was delicious!
The show was hiliarous, it was advertised as "Fangs and Fetish" but it was neither really apart from their clothing. It was very good though and a great night out.
