Crown on Crown

Arrived in Sydney this afternoon to find extremely warm weather - Melbourne had been rather variable.

We are staying at the Crown Motel located on a street of the same name. The room is a little on the small side but there are compensations - see Dave beavering away on the netbook computer on our balcony! Wi-fi is free as are videos to play in our room. Now, we didn’t come all the way to Australia to watch videos but it is pleasant on the odd occasion to return to your abode and relax for the evening.

The locality here is pretty good too - all seems fairly quiet as I write this, but just a few metres down the road is a bustling hive of activity with a huge variety of outlets, shops and restaurants. The choice of eating places is staggering and it was difficult to make a decision. In the end we plumped for a Thai restaurant with a diverse menu, reasonable prices and a BYO policy for alcohol where we‘ll be eating (and drinking) in an hour or so. What could be better?
