If they would have told me, I wouldn’t have believed it but the Australian cliché of sport nuts couldn’t be truer in Surfer Paradise. Even in this urbanised touristy place spending the day at the beach is a must for the locals and it starts as earlier as sunrise, is everybody suffering from insomnia? We woke up in our hippie campervan at the noises of the many cars pulling over to our same parking spot to find ourselves surround by a crowd of surfers, joggers and swimmers. Although still much asleep I couldn’t resist taking this snap: this bloke checking on the waves on his loose boxer swimsuit and his UGG boots just says it all.
