Algernon Rats Australian Adventure

Hi guys,
well as you know AR has been visiting us here in Oz, well we were most upset when Mummy took him on a special adventure with her human girlfriends and left us gorgeous girls at home.

Glynis and Algernon at the Gold Coast Lounge

AR told us all about it.....he went to Queensland, arrived at Gold Coast Airport on wednesday 2nd, to beautiful sunny day about 28 C, the temperature didn't change much for the whole time he was there, it cooled down to about 20 over night.

Friday was another drive, up to Mount Tamborine, he tried some local moonshine!! Had lunch at The Olive Tree, then went shopping at the night market at Broadbeach. He went to Infinity (http://www.infinitygc.com.au/about-infinity.html) but he had to stay at reception as you're not supposed to take bags (AR spent a lot of time, peeking out at his surroundings). Friday night they all went to another Italian restaurant (AR can't remember name we wonder why) where they had cocktails, AR enjoyed a banana cocktail !!

Saturday they packed their bags and headed to Burleigh Heads where AR enjoyed watching the surfers and had his photo taken again. Then down to Coolangatta for lunch at a cafe and some more shopping. They had to be at the airport by 3pm to return the hire car. Linda had organised for them to be in the Gold Coast Lounge, AR had his photo taken with Casey who looked after the Lounge.

He enjoyed nibbling on the party pies and sipping a juice, whilst the humans had glasses of cold Savignon Blanc and hot nibblies.

His last photo was taken with him looking out the window at the airport just before taxi-ing to the runway!

Then he returned home to us with Mummy of course.
