Our too long stay in Coolangatta, Burleigh Heads and Miami

On this weekend there was the Wintersun Festival in Coolangatta. It¥s a really huge (compared to the size of town) Rock & Roll Festival where heaps of old American cars (Cadillacs, Chevrolets, Corvettes etc.) come together and cruise down the streets. People dress up like in the 50ties and dance Rock & Roll to live music. They also tried to do a Guinness book world record in the biggest Rock & Roll dance event.
In Coolangatta we also met Adele from New Zealand whom Silke got to know during her trip through Australia in 2000. We met her in town and spent some time with her in her house.
The other people we met were an Australian couple that we met on the highway a week before. They were the people who left the highway to help us push our kombi when we had some starter problems.
On a windy day we watched some great surf in Burleigh Heads. The city and the beach there are famous for their surfing possibilities. The day before it was really boring but this day we could take some great pics :-)!
We also did an excursion to the “famous” Surfers Paradise. You can see the quite amazing skyline of the city in the background of the surfers.
