How often do we take the time to be a tourist in our own town rather than waiting for interstate or overseas visitors?  For my birthday this year I took the day off to explore and rediscover Adelaide’s highlights with recommendations on what to do in Adelaide, South Australia. With a cooked breakfast (made at

Arriving late in London via a flight from Glasgow via Easy Jet and the train from Luton to St Pancras, we walked to a nearby (very average and expensive) hotel. Eurostar tickets to Paris departing at 7.55 am meant we arrived in Paris Gare du Nord station at 11.17 am (8.10.12) and booked in at

Flying out on Saturday 22nd September 2012 we arrived at the airport around 9.45 am for our 10.50 am

To celebrate my parents’ birthdays in August 2012 I booked a mini break at Normanville staying in a really nice, new, holiday house called Bungala Shores. With Thursday to Sunday to plan out, I called into the Visitors Centre at Yankalilla where the staff were very helpful and I came away with brochures and things

I love the Wotif specials that are available for a window of a few hours and recently I booked a night at the majestic Mount Lofty House.  The package included a deluxe room, country continental breakfast for two, midday checkout, bottle of wine and $35 dinner voucher.
