Morgans of Sydney, Darlinghurst

Advantages: Excellent City, Clean streets, Great Transport, Loads to do
Disadvantages: Changable and Blustery in Winter, A Bit too far from Ireland

...are attending the fireworks you need to get a good spot early on in the day. We had to be at Farm Cove around 5pm to get a good view. Eating Out in Sydney is cheap compared to Irish prices. There are some great restaurants such as City Extra at Circular Quays, open 24 hours and items from a cup of coffee to a full meal with desserts. Venice Beach on Kellet St., Darlinghurst combines Asian cuisine with Australian and Mike the chef will tantalize your tastebuds with his various menu items. Transport in Sydney is very efficient and very cheap also. Busses, trains and ferries combine and you can usually get from Kings Cross to North Sydney in about 20-25 minutes - it can take a bit more in rush hour but if you know your train times you can do your best to avoid these rushes. I have listed the Top 10 Things we did in Sydney, along with some... Read review

Advantages: Awesome place/great photo opportunities!
Disadvantages: I was jet lagged when we saw it!

...Last Summer I was lucky enough to go on a world rugby tour to Australia and New Zealand, it was an amazing trip and I am going to review each section of the trip, to let you know how fantastic it was!

Then hopefully if you are planning a trip to Australia and New Zealand you might find something in my review that you would like to do or a place which you want to see. I will put up lots of pictures as well so you get a feel for the places I'm reviewing. Basically our tour consisted of flying to Sydney for 3 days, then to New Zealand for 9 days, then back to Brisbane in Australia for a final few luxurious rugby free days and finally home.

Advantages: An excellent hotel
Disadvantages: Outside noise from revellers disturbs sleep

...INTRODUCTION My wife and I agreed that our next holiday would be in Prague. But after the events of September 11th I did not want a long flight so we agreed to a 5-day stay in Dublin. My parents have this stupid habit of visiting our flat when we are on holiday. This means that they can go through all our documents eg bank statements in the flat without being disturbed. But as my parents are currently in India we went to Dublin without them knowing about it. We booked the trip via British Airways Holidays. Being a (beleaguered) British Airways shareholder I get a discount voucher, which knocked off 10% of the holiday package. The BA Holidays brochure advertised 5 hotels in Dublin. The Morgan Hotel was the only hotel to offer a bonus night free so we plumped for the Morgan. LOCATION The Morgan Hotel is located... Read review
