Astor Private Hotel Hobart

... visited Sydney a couple of times before I thought I'd catch the train into the city rather than sit bored in the terminal. I booked my bags onto my final flight and caught the train directly from the terminal.

Well, the 10th turns out to be a Sunday and Cascade Brewery turns out to be closed on the weekends. The concert turned out to be sold ...

... and Meadowbank (not available in Canada) We picked up a couple of lovely bottles of white wine for the week that we're here to enjoy with supper with our friends. Upon arrival in Kingston Rowena had a boot load of Samaritan purses shoeboxes that needed to be dropped off at the warehouse. This is their busy time and they are checking the boxes to ensure everything contained in them is able to go over as there are a lot of items that cannot go which include ...

Bellas Artes es un edificio precioso frente al mar... a me olvide de decir, que es una mezla entre Bariloche y Punta del este, pero con un clima mas Patagonico,,,,( de dia en verano al sol esta lindisimo, pero ni bien se nubla o empieza a soplar el viento es helado! ).
