Rainforest Retreat

Sometimes you can pick the perfect place to stay on the internet!

Our room had everything we needed - well we supplied the wine.

It was right in the middle of the Daintree Rainforest and we were surrounded by the most beautiful tress.

Apparently there was a cassowary (large, flightless bird near extinction) on the property. We didn't get to see her but there was a full size replica by the office.

And we were just a short drive from some gorgeous, pristine beaches.

Life in the Big City

We had a great time in Sydney on the weekend.

Sure we saw the famous Sydney Opera House, Darling Harbour and took the Ferry to Manly.

But the highlight of the trip was the food. Brisbane has very little cultural diversity, but Sydney is another story. Our hotel was right on the edge of Chinatown so we took full advantage of our location. By the way "Dim Sum" is called "Yum Cha" in Australia, and when you ask someone on the street for a recommendation, if you are lucky, they'll send you here.

The best thing about Sydney was the people. Everyone was friendly!
