An unfortunate trio of Japanese tourists has learned never to trust technology after taking an unexpected dip during a vacation down under.
The holidaymakers were attempting to drive from Moreton Bay to North Stradbroke Island on Australia’s Gold Coast Thursday morning and made the seemingly smart move of punching the destination into the GPS of their rental car, reported the Bayside Bulletin.

However, while the road looked clear on the map, the three students from Tokyo were caught unawares when the route sent them straight off shore and into the bay at Oyster Point where their trusty blue Hyundai Getz rental car promptly got stuck in a sticky mangrove mud.
The fast incoming tide quickly threatened to sweep the little car away and they were forced to abandon “ship,” much to the amusement of onlookers on dry land and passing boats and ferries.

erranea. The name conjures up visions of a sun-bleached Italian villa overlooking vineyards, if it weren’t for the breath-taking coastal views of the Pacific. The luxurious new resort is situated on the Palos Verdes Peninsula in California, where the old Marine land used to be, and boasts world-class accommodations, impeccable service, and a wonderful salt water pool, outside bars with fireplaces, golf, and spa – everything you would ever want. The old-world elegance doesn’t come with an attitude however; the feeling is relaxed and friendly.

The hotel was built to take advantage of the idyllic setting, with hikes and trails throughout the property. Featuring 3 main restaurants, including the up-scale mar'sel, and casual grills for a snack around the pool or at the spa, there’s something for everyone.
The 102 acre resort is also a wedding favorite, as we saw this last weekend when the Bachelor Jason Mesnick got married to his lady-love, Molly Malaney in a torrential rain fall!

The hotel always offers specials so check the site for your perfect vacation.
