i don’t know know which specialty restaurant those photos are from, but the plating looks far better than Atlantide.

That was Eden restaurant Portpower on the Edge last night. Superb meal. I’ve never been an MDR kinda guy and wasn’t keen on Atlantide. Different setup on here, they have 4included MDR but not MDR but they still are MDR. Several specialities too.

I’d also love to visit Scarborough (yours not ours) and wouldn’t break out in a rash If I got to visit Bee Gees alley!

I went to Scarborough Country Day School in the States - not far from Sing Sing prison.  The school was lovely but the lights would dim when the prison was executing someone!

Well that settles it. not a fancy place but gets good reviews and is in Scarborough.

They have bookings available on Saturday from 4pm until 7.30pm. So decision one is how early you would like to eat. But there is another thing to consider a little further on in this post.

 

We can visit one of their boyhood homes on the way to the restaurant.

But the second decision will impact on the first decision. Would you like to visit Bee Gee alley before dinner or after dinner when there is a sound and light show. We might have to miss lunch!

Sounds great DrRon. Qantas have bumped my flight back so I expect to get to the hotel 4ish so prob 7.30 would be safer? I Like the sound of the light show after dinner too. Can’t wait to meet you both.

Booked for 3 at 7.30pm. Upper deck of course.

Fabulous,what time and where do you want to meet up? 

[drron29]

We will pick you up at your hotel. Is it still the BW North Lakes?

From there just 20 minutes to Bee Gees Way and 10 minutes to the restaurant. The boyhood home of the Bee Gees would be a drive past and is only a 100 metre deviation from the direct drive.

 

So pick up at 6.30 if you want a half hour at the Alley but we would be happy with 6pm for an hours visit or a bit longer drive.

I Don’t want to be any trouble, I was going to get an Uber. Is it out of your way? If not 6.30 would be perfect!

Usually I find disembarkation day quite sad. Not today, and not for the wrong reasons either. I Had a lovely stroll around Sydney up hill and down dale, such a wonderful city. Nice to explore on foot but todays humidity didn’t make for the easiest expedition. My digs here aren’t too bad. I Came back to wave my friends old and new off on their next sector. Got some nice footage of the Edge leaving port (4.00 departure due to Australia Day preparations).  Booked myself onto a Dinner cruise on the Clearview this evening and it was fabulous. I Had the best time. The Harbour was as still and serene as anything this evening. I Just wish I had a canon for those bloody awful party boats that have awful DJs and lighting from wish. Why blast the music outside the boat and ruin it for everybody else?  Tall ship tomorrow for the race for Australia Day. I Think it’s going to be another fine day.

How on earth did I end up on the ceiling?

Actually the hotel is about a 5 -10 minute deviation from our direct route to the restaurant at most so we are more than happy to pick you up at the hotel. Unfortunately I don't have a chauffeur's hat so I hope you don't mind.

That’s really kind of you. I’ll try and pick up a hat in the gift shop on the way for you

What happens on the ceiling stays on the ceiling.
