| Sky Tower From Albert Park |
Next to get to our Hotel, The Quadrant, 3 choices
- Public Transport Bus,
- Shuttle Bus
- taxi
Due to the late hour and having to wait 30 minutes for the shuttle Bus, we decided to take a Taxi we asked the cost to the hotel, "$60 to $70 came the reply.," we had a great drive in the roads were empty, clear night and a very nice taxi driver, cost came in at $76
The Hotel Room is great, we will leave the feed back for after we completed our week, we will publish our blog on Sunday.
Our first day in Jeannette's words, "walked up and down got our barrings and bought our cold weather jackets." First thing, Hills, steep slopes and buildings similar to high streets in the UK, from the tallest Building in New Zealand the Sky Tower, that will wait till Tuesday, loads of "Café's, restaurants and interesting shops, after all day walking around, we went back to the hotel, showered then went out for dinner.
We settled on Wagga-mamma our first time, even though there is a wagga in Bath, Jeannette picked Chicken noddles in a soup base, I had spicy lamb noodles, sides dishes, chicken dumplings lightly fried & crispy salad.with drinks, steinlager pure & Cranberry,ginger & apple juice, Jeannettes drink tasted fantastic.
Total cost $67, the exchange rate is $1.98 to £1, very good value we thought.
Monday 22nd August, The plan is to have a relaxing day and revisit some of the places from the previous day this time I would take photos.
I also need to pick up Our Rugby World Cup Tickets, travel information, plus information about the Sky City and tower, which is a very impressive building.
The day started with a walk through Albert park, down through the university area, to Starbucks for a coffee in the cinema complex, note free WiFi here.
After picking up our world cup tickets, we went to investigate the docks, mariners and Viaduct. what an impressive place, expensive yachts, cabin cruisers, cargo ships, and ferry's.
In a need to eat, we are spoiled for choice, the place we fancied is in the red doors along the Wharf,
"Jack Tar," because I wanted Ribs, after a late lunch and beer we spent the rest of the afternoon people watching which made for interesting photos.
Now to retire to the hotel bar, Sky Tower Tuesday.

Lovely stuff, make sure you do the harbour boat tour and then head north to the cape, you will like it there. The bus ride on the beach is also worth it and dolphin watching on the east coast is fantastic. Keep it up.
