Hello explorers,

I'm travelling on the Queen Elizabeth in February in Australia. Where is the best place to book tours for each location? Are the ship tours overpriced? I'm not very good with technology.

Any information would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Thanks everyone.  I have pretty much decided to do 1 day private tour (possibly to Brunie Island) which is expensive ($900) but when divided by three is not too bad and the second day maybe a ship's tour for two of us or hanging around the city.    That will of course add up to more than 2 days car hire but not by much.  That way I won't have to do all the planning, driving, etc and mum can stay in the car if she doesn't want to do any of the more active things.  🙂 

 

That is expensive. In 2018 there were tour operators on the Hobart waterfront, I met a young chap there and we did a "Hobart Wanderer" tour. It was great, very informative and got to see a lot on the day. Hobart is a beautiful place.

Should be similar. Uber prices fluctuate based on supply and demand, hence their notorious surge pricing.

You can get Uber price estimates from this page on their website  https://www.uber.com/global/en/price-estimate/  or you can use their smartphone app.

Yes, be careful when there are a lot of people to up the demand or public holidays! I was charge triple the usual fair on Thanksgiving.

So many things!

I guess I am frequently a rather dull eater at home, and especially since I stopped working and taking a lunch along.

Now that you have me thinking:

calamari

congee

multiple desserts

sticky buns

DH likes escargots on cruises, too.

 

The Sticky buns, oooowww how I have missed cruising.

I like the end cut king, Queen or whatever.  I can’t eat a king anymore…too much meat.  I really like the intense meat flavor with an end cut that is so tender it is falling apart.  No sauces for me…just jus.  
 

Simpsons In The Strand used to be the place for great Roast beef.  It was one of the best and most reasonable places to dine in the 1970’s.  Now you need a bank loan to dine there.  I’m so happy we got to enjoy London before all the tourists and Euro chic showed up to destroy it.

Very good!!
