Taronga Zoo Sydney
2024 Jan 23
A lovely zoo with amazing Sydney city & harbour views. Can be accessed by bus, car & ferry & we went ferry both ways (short trip from Circular Quay). Buses available from ferry up hill to main entry. There is also an entry at bottom near ferry.

Lots of animals including Australian- opportunity for koala photos & walking amongst kangaroos & emus.

Sadly chairlift not working, with other issues with up escalators & also 1 lift. Meant additional walking.

Food is very average in food court - $40 for a couple of chicken meals & an ice-cream. Could buy drinks incl alcohol.

Various ticket options - cheaper to buy online. Cashless zoo now.

Always worth a visit.
Sacred City of Kandy
2023 Nov 16
Beautiful complex of temples, gardens etc on the banks of the River in the heart of the city.
Best with a guide to explain the old history, the newer history & the story of the tooth relic.
Need to store your shoes & wear conservative attire. Security including scanners present.
Terraces Restaurant
2023 Aug 07
Attended for breakfast & selected the buffet. Lovely table by the window overlooking the pool.
Short walk to the buffet & a good range of dishes but nothing special. Nice to have ice-cream available with pancakes. Self-service coffee machine that produced nice coffee - full or lite milk.
A little odd & inconvenient to pay your bill after you had eaten at a buffet.
