An update on Holland America

Holland America came back with a discount ($600)  on our next cruise.  But they still say they cannot guarantee joint discussion on any further problems.  I find that they deal with problems by ignoring them, which I have heard other people also mention.  We have booked another cruise, this one has no tender ports.....so hopefully it will all go smoothly.

An update on Champs at Southbank

After such a pleasant experience eating breakfast at this establishment, we decided to have tea there prior to a show at QPAC.  Ordered something quick, as time was limited.  We didn't have to worry about wasting time eating anything they served.......scallops consisted of 4 scallops on a large plate and the crab sandwich was two fingers of bread, which if put together, would not make a whole sandwich.  Sounds OK you say.....well the scallops were $24 and the sandwiches were $20.  Add a glass of wine ($10) and a beer ($10) and a plate of potatoes ($12) and it was an expensive and unfufilling meal........still recommend them for breakfast, but like something with a bit more substance for tea.

Brother's Leagues Club Ipswich

Went to Brother's Leagues Club, Ipswich, for St Paddies Day Celebrations.  Although there are several wheelchair parks, they are hard to get....guess there are lots of oldies visiting on most days.  However there are plenty of parks in the bottom carpark which can be used by wheelchair users, it is just a bit of a ways from the front door.  However the club is fully accessible.  The even have a lift to the top floor.  Anyway we had an enjoyable afternoon, listening to 'The Life of Reilly' singing Irish ditties and enjoying a drink or two with some of my friends from Rosewood Craft Group.  Would recommend the club for an outing....easy access and lovely ambience.
