Advantages: friendly, helpful, easy-going, great atmosphere Disadvantages: No powerpoints in the rooms!! Read my review to see why this was a problem!! Small communal kitchen
I stayed in this hostel my first night in Australia - i booked a single room cos I figured after 24 hours on a plane anda rriving in Sydney at 9pm all I would want to do is have a shower and go to bed!! It cost just 19 pounds for a single room which was great considering you would expect to pay at least 10 pounds for a dorm room in Sydney, even up to 20 pounds for a hostel like Wake Up! just a little further down on Pitt Street!
The hostel is located right in the middle of Sydney, within easy walking distance (even if you arel ugging a 20kg backpack around with you!) of Central train station and Museum train station. It is also within walking distance (maybe leave the backpack in your hostel room for this one!) of the harbour and the famous bridge and opera house - this would take around 30-45 minutes so if you aren't feeling very ...

The main maze is large, but we actually preferred the smaller maze of illusion better, I think after 15 minutes of walking around just seeing maize the children found the bigger maze ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of York Maze
Advantages: Great staff and stock Disadvantages: Desire to spend too much money!
As some of you will know I am a keen Scrapbooker and spend much of my free time on this craft ( when I am not on Dooyoo or Ciao!). There are lots of online craft suppliers but there are relatively few craft shops that you are able to actually visit. I am very lucky to have an absolute gem almost on my doorstep so I thought I would tell everyone about it and there maybe some crafters amongst you that would be able to pay it a visit--you would not regret it (although your bank balance might!)
Location
A Maze of Memories is set just outside Long Crendon on the Oxfordshire/Buckinghamshire border.It is easily accesible from Bicester and Aylesbury. It is in a unit on Woodway farm. This means that the parking is easy and free and you can watch sheep in the fields out of the window whilst waiting for creative inspiration ...
