I was in Sydney last week for a few days, staying at a new hotel. I wandered in and the first thing I saw was these above the bar / restaurant area
A Tomasini, a Leopard Trek plastic wonder and a Cinelli
A Merckx, a hideous Trek time-trial abomination and an unknown classic old singlespeed roadie
Always a good omen to start the visit. Alas they weren't available to be lent out, and although it was great to see them it was also a shame to think of them just sitting there gathering dust. Especially that old singlespeed.
They also had an in-house coffee roaster, with green beans on racks on the walls. The coffee was pretty good, but we have fresh Merlot beans in the office and it's hard to beat that.
Cutest of all was in the lake outside, with these blue-tip beaked ducks doing synchronised begging
Do you reckon the the Queensland variety has evolved a maroon tipped beak?
