August 2010 - Italy -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How convenient, the Hotel has an exclusive lift down to the ferry wharf. Shame the remainder of Capri was nowhere near as exclusive. We queued for the ferry even though we had tickets, we stood in the wrong queue for the cable car only to »
August 2010 - Italy -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are no clocks in our room. Clearly the Hotel is not fussed about time, or at least feels that we shouldn’t be.

August 2010 - Italy -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0 Hours Our story begins on a sunny Sydney afternoon, after frantically packing the morning away and eating the last remaining contents of the fridge we were on our way to the airport for a much anticipated adventure.

January 2010 - New York -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why did I plan on heading to Soho the day that it decides to poor rain with a wind that bent my umbrella out of shape?

February 2009 - Japan -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am currently sitting on the lounge looking out the window onto Sapporo. It has been snowing out there since we arrived and yes, it's cold. But let’s rewind a bit first… To Thursday. Thursday we headed out to Shinjuku after trying »
February 2009 - Japan -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 'plan' for the second day was to do Harajuku and Shinjuku. In the end... just Harajuku and Omotesando (pretty street laced with trees and shops, many of them designer stores). If you haven't realised from the last two blogs the »
February 2009 - Japan -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And now let the fun begin… Arriving at Four Seasons Marunouchi our room was already waiting for us which was a pleasant surprise.
