The all new "Where are you today?" thread

[Barman]

Sydney

Still gets my vote as best city in the world but is it effin expensive or what?

And more than a bit odd on the fringes   As we drove in we saw signs that several streets were imminently to be closed for a special event. Oh good says Mrs K, maybe it's a Father Christmas parade (see Miracle on 34th st). Was it hell, turns out it was the 18th annual 'Transgender day of Remembrance' parade. 

So we didn't exactly rush down to watch it

Now in Chinatown

Is that like "I remember when I had a willy" sort of thing?

I suspect it may be but thought it impolite to ask anyone

So we hid in our room deciding on which expensive parking option to choose. Went for the A$20 a visit or 24 hours option. That's £15 in what used to be real money

£15 to park in the hotel??? 

That's the rate they negotiated with the nearest car park.  Their default is £30 a day!

Welcome to the world of city parking in these days of the devalued £

You'd feint if I told you how much the room is costing but it's a very nice room and Sydney's Chinatown is a great place to be.  We figured we could be frugal and let our (ill gotten?) money rot in a bank or think "fuck it, enjoy it while we can"

Sounds like a good philosophy

Of course doing both is the best option.

a 250 mile round trip to see Dolphins in Jervis Bay 

stop off on route back for possibly last visit to Gap Park at South Head, one of my favouritist places in the world 

stop for quick bite at McDees to find they stopped doing veggie stuff since our last visit  but they still do fries 

get back to hotel in eager anticipation of beer and wine in the bar to find "sorry sir we don't have a bar any longer"

Have to say it was a crap bar last times we were here but Mrs K was a tad bereft tonight

A local Spanish bar (did I mention that China Town has a Spanish Quarter?) did very well as substitute
