The Chocolate Lounge Menu at Shiroi Koibito Park (anglais)

It's probably not for you if you don't like rockmelon

For those that are thinking about visiting Shiroi Koibito Park after my article about it here and are not quite sure yet, the menu might help sway you towards it. The Chocolate Lounge does not feature any main type food, the closet you can get is the tea set. As the lounge name suggests, it is focused on chocolate. However, there are a wide variety of sweet dishes and drinks that incorporate milk, dark and/or white chocolate.

Carnarvon à Monkey Mia via les trous de soufflage Quobba - Darwin à Perth Jour 11

The cliffs at the Quobba Blow Holes

It’s about 70km’s or 50 minutes drive from the Wintersun Tourist Park back up to the blowholes, making it a two hour round trip by the time we got out, looked around and took some photos.

Offres spéciales quotidiennes sur une croisière transpacifique à bord du Radiance of the Seas

Radiance of the Seas at Circular Quay

Heading off on Radiance of the Seas from Sydney to Honolulu in Hawaii or the reverse is usually between 17 and 19 days of cruising. When you are headed off for that long, it can be hard to gauge what’s a good deal to book beforehand, so I thought I’d share what the daily deals were on our 18-day transpacific cruise from Sydney to Hawaii, via Wellington and Picton in New Zealand and Papeete Tahiti, Moorea and Bora Bora in French Polynesia debarking in Honolulu. These change all the time, but it should give you a good idea of what to expect, particularly for things that don’t change price frequently, like the internet packages.
