Last weekend I was down in Sydney again for some ‘work’ and the usual break away

The work revolved around various posh hotels such as the Intercontinental,  the Swissotel and the Shangri-La. All of which were great places with their own individual plus points, for example being on the intercontinental’s top balcony overlooking circular quay or the massive floor to ceiling windows in the Shangri-la’s top bar. One of the most interesting meetings was with a bloke who has been in the hospitality trade for several years and various stories and experiences he has come across in that time. Unfortunately he was a Chelsea fan , that aside he was a top bloke.

Previously while staying in Sydney I have been located in The Rocks, this time we were a little further out (20mins drive tops) in a place called Coogee (Google Maps Link) which despite being in a major city is right on the beach (A couple down from Bondi – but less backpackery) yet quite close to the CBD.

Circular Quay Station – Possibly the best platform in the world
