Our friends from Newcastle had asked us to join them on the Gold Coast for a night. We headed south Weds morning at about 8 am through some heavy showers of rain and reached our destination soon after 10:00. Michael and Janet were staying at the Belle Maison resort at Broadbeach. As you can see it is very impressive building and we were staying in an adjoining room to them on the 20th floor.
We did want to try out the pool and in the distance you may be able to make out the spa! This was a great spot after we had spent a few hours at the Broadbeach Tavern taking in the scenery and chatting away.The view from their room was quite spectacular. This a panorama shot where I have 'stitched' 4 photos together side by side to create this shot. You can download the program too. It is called "Autostitch". You can download it from:
If you then get into Autostitch "Options" via the "Edit" Tab and reset the Output Size and Scale to 100% you get a full size Panorama view of you photos stitched together. Otherwise it will only make a panorama shot at 10% of the original size.
This shot actually shows 2 views, one looking eastwards to the sea while the other is looking north towards Surfers Paradise.
We had a pleasant evening meal with some accompanying music from a live performer and finished the evening at Conrad Jupiter's Casino which was within walking distance.
A great night was had by all and we said our goodbyes on Thursday morning as we headed north to home and they headed south to return to Newcastle.
