Diamant Hotel Sydney – Take 2

November 2, 2009

After the relatively disappointing visit to Sydney two months ago, Halloween weekend was the chance for everyone to make it up to us. Starting with the Diamant Hotel, Sydney… Wine and chocolates on arrival… Rish tells me the Lindt chocolates were yum. They smelled great! The room this time around was free, with the wine, [...]

Who said it could be November?

Sorta Satisfactory Sydney

August 31, 2009

We went up to Sydney on the weekend for a PJs themed party… Way too many things didn’t go to plan… We stayed at the Diamant who mixed up out booking – so rather than a Suite with champagne on arrival we had a regular room… which would have been nice if that’s what I [...]

In Rainbows

July 13, 2009

Sydney was a grey old place last week. AS soon as you’d think it was sunny, it would start spitting on your again. “Sunshower!” could be exclaimed, to try to keep the spirits up, until it got wetter and wetter, and you knew you had to use your umbrella. That didn’t stop me on Wednesday [...]

Addison Hotel, Kensington

July 13, 2009

Came back last night from a week across Sydney and Newcastle, with more photos than I really need to deal with! On our first night in Sydney, we stayed at the Addison Hotel which is on Anzac Parade Kensington – chosen because it was about 2 block’s walk from the University of NSW, where Rish [...]

Party, Yum Cha, Boost and Home.

October 22, 2008

I think we’ve figured out our “Sydney Routine”. Check into the hotel (that we’ve booked through Wotif.com or through a new place like Hotels Combined) about 2pm after remember again that we hate the stretch along South Dowling Drive… Find lunch. This time around we stuffed ourselves silly with Manchurian Sweet and Sour Pork and [...]

It's moving time!

October 15, 2008

Gee B1 and B2 proved great conversational starters in my younger years… Anyway… (Do you know what time it is?) We’ve got ourselves a place very very close to where I work… meaning walking to work every day! *bounce* Slightly larger than we have now, but technically a townhouse… though it’s not a little box [...]

Pirate is Go

May 17, 2008

Just finishing tidying the house etc and getting my pirate costume together to head up to Sydney. We’ve managed to arrange to meet up with a friend from High School which will be nice :) I’m still not feeling 100% – when I went to bed last night I think the anitibiotic reacted with me [...]
