Circular Quay Sydney – Sydney Harbour Bridge – Sydney Opera House
Wednesday, March 11th, 2009 at
8:13 am
As our hotel (Citigate Central) is not too far from Central Station, we decided to catch the train to Circular Quay. The return ticket cost $4.40, as we were only going to Circular Quay and back, so it wasn’t practical to buy the multi- trip ticket. Walking around Circular Quay gives you a spectacular view of both the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House. Both are well known icons in Sydney. Unfortunately since Paula had a bit of a cold and wasn’t feeling too well, we didn’t spend too much time around the Harbour. We walked up to the…
Elton John Red Piano Concert Review – Colosseum Caesar’s Palace Las Vegas – Review
Tuesday, March 25th, 2008 at

Tonight was an absolutely awesome experience, we have just arrived back at the hotel after seeing Elton John at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Our seats were on the second mezzanine, in the middle, three rows back (row C seats 409/410) but the theatre is built in such a way that everyone has a fantastic view. Elton was fantastic, although his voice has mellowed with time, everyone is very forgiving because he still sounds great and he gives everything to his performance and everyone just loved being there. Dressed in a black chinese style jacket that contrasted nicely against the Red…
More Sights To See in San Francisco
Saturday, March 15th, 2008 at

St Patricks day is being celebrated with a parade down Market St. So it’s down for an early breakfast and off to catch the cable car in Powell St. The Powell-Market and Hyde-Market cable cars run North/South across San Francisco. This is Paula’s first time on the cable car. After yesterday I am now an old hand. It doesn’t take too long for the men to turn the cable car around so that it is facing in the right direction and we are off. We clatter our way up and down the steep hills, and because it is such a…
Alcatraz – Visiting The Rock in San Francisco
Friday, March 14th, 2008 at
3:48 am
A visit to San Francisco isn’t complete without a visit to Alcatraz so we did the right thing and bought two tickets for the ferry trip across to the island. Booking for Alcatraz must be done in advance as it is a popular tour so we booked 2 days ahead. If you are coming during a busy time of the year make it a point of buying your tickets on the day you arrive so you don’t miss out. We purchased our tickets at Pier 33 at Fishermans Wharf which is where the ferry leaves from and they cost $24.50…
Downtown Las Vegas At Night
Monday, March 10th, 2008 at
10:20 pm
One of the great things about Downtown Las Vegas is that everything is so close to walk to. We simply strolled out one of the doors facing Freemont St and we were right in the midst of everything that was happening. The Strip is full of enormous hotels that take up acres of land so walking from one end of The Strip to the other takes a long time and more if you go into the various casinos for a look around. So walking down Freemont St at night was an enjoyable experience and the atmosphere is intimate and friendly as tourists…
The Boboli Gardens

After taking in the sights on the Ponte Vecchio we arrived at the Pitti Palace and the majestic Boboli Gardens. These beautiful formal gardens are situated behind the Pitti Palace which was the property of the Medici family. This stunningly beautiful palace is the 2nd largest museum in Florence. The gardens cover and area approx 45,000 metres and include statues from the 16 and 17th century. There are many areas where you can sit and relax before continuing on your stroll through the many twists an turns. I have read a number of reviews about the gardens and some have not been very encouraging saying they are…
Disneyland Castle Modeled on Neuschwanstein Castle
Saturday, April 28th, 2007 at
11:44 am
The Disneyland castle in Sleeping Beauty was modeled on the Neuschwanstein castle. It has also appeared in a number of movies including Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Neuschwanstein Castle is breathtakingly beautiful in both its outer appearance and setting on a hilltop with a mountainous backdrop and lake setting, just outside of Fussen. This beautiful castle is one of the castles that was commissioned by King Ludwig and when he died in 1886 construction ceased with 60% of the rooms unfinished. The castle was originally called New Hohenschwangau Castle and was renamed after Ludwig’s death to Neushwanstein Castle “Castle of the…
Tour of the Castles of Mad King Ludwig II – Linderhof Castle
Sunday, April 1st, 2007 at
6:53 am
We took a tour bus to visit the castles of King Ludwig II. The tour guide was excellent and gave us lots of information about Germany and Bavaria. There was at the time, no speed limit on the autobahn but this was being changed even though the road deaths in Germany were minor compared to other countries with enforced speed limits. Crazy isn’t it. It doesn’t matter what the facts are if some politician thinks he can win votes and collect revenue by passing a law where one isn’t required. However, we were off to Linderhof Castle to see the…
