Wrap My World Around You: Harbour Town, here we come!

Hello folks!

So today, we decided to go to Harbour town, which is about 12 zones away from St Lucia. When you say Harbour town, you think of the harbour, fishing, yacht, seafood restaurants and so forth. Hmm, not this time.. We went to the Harbour town shopping centre which is a large factory outlet where we can get things at discounted prices and good bargains. The five of us boarded on the 10:35am bus from St Lucia, heading to the city. From the city, we walked to Central Station, to catch the Gold Coast train at 11:24am. It was an hour long journey until we reached Helensvale station. It was a rather long ride, so it was spent watching the outside scenery where sometimes you came across a farm or barn where a herd of cattles can be seen grazing the grass, horsies galloping along the wide expanse of field and fishing boats anchoring on some un named blue sparkling river or lake. It was a rather hot day to begin with. From Helensvale, we boarded the 715 bus, bringing us to the Harbour town Shopping Centre. In Harbourtown, you can get a variety of fruits and veggies at cheaper prices. Not forgetting to mention the range of factory outlet stores which you can browse to your liking. We arrived at the shopping centre at close to 1pm. At 3pm, we decided to have a late lunch at one of the Halal kebab place. After lunch, we browse through the fruits shop before heading back to the bus stop to catch the bus back to Helensvale station.

At the Helensvale station, we decided to head to the nearby Helensvale town centre since we have never been there. The shopping centre is huge. I think it is similar to the shopping centres at Garden city and Chermside.

After exploring the place, we headed back to the train station to catch the 5:04pm train. It was another hour long train ride. We arrived at 6+pm at city then headed to the bus stop to catch the bus to St Lucia. A funny thing happened just now. On the way from the station, I decided to buy some donuts from Krispy Kreme. Unbeknownst to me, I've been walking from the station to the shop with a piece of aeroplane sticker stuck to my butt! It's the ones that are usually wrapped around your luggage handle, stating your flight no. and so on. It made me look like I've got a tail or something. Thank God, Syimsyim saw the sticker before further embarrassment can be made. I was so mortified and became so paranoid that I began to check my rear end quite a few times, haha! We managed to laugh it off, although it was at my expense (haha!).. Well, as long as everyone's happy, lol.
