  1. The Blue Mountains are always lovely. Not difficult by train from Central to Katoomba (the main village up there) or Leura (just before). As others say, there IS a HoHo bus, but it DOES NOT run very frequently. Take a careful look at the timetable. (I'd call it a HoHum bus). Some stops are really only good for a 5 to 10 minute look around, and then you waiiiiiit for the next bus to trundle along. If money isn't the main concern, there are some very good day-tours from Sydney on small buses. Much better than the tour on large coaches. These tours are quite a long day, but they do show you a lot.
  2. Somewhere in Slovakia, judging by the green sign on the right
  3. Fly into Perth. Take the Indian Pacific luxury train straight across the country to Sydney over 4-5 days (google that one), then cruise to NZL (and possibly back to SYD) over 10-14 nights.
  4. That's close enough. You're next
  5. I go for Bucharest. That Ceaucescu (?) monstrosity. Palace of the parliament, they call it???
  6. It has something Soviet communist about it.... Bulgaria, Romania, Albania.
  7. If Liberace and Elton John had a love child....
  8. Ah, I have sentimental reasons for the Four Seasons. I met my wife there 30something years ago when it was the Regent.
  9. The "flattest" are certainly the Four Seasons, Sydney Harbour Marriott (there are a few Marriotts in Sydney) and the Pullman Quay Grand (pretty much directly opposite where the ships dock across the quay, very close to the Opera house)
  10. Looks very Eastern European to me
  11. Alright, next time. 🙂
  12. Guyana. An eco resort on a side-arm of the Demerera River, near Georgetown.
