Last weekend Mitch and I had a little mini-break in Sydney. We stayed Friday and Saturday nights, did some touristy things, visited Zara and Topshop and ate (a lot). Probably the highlight was the 5 star hotel we stayed in on Saturday night. The stay was completely free, thanks to some loyalty points Mitch had earned from business trips last year. And let me just say, I could definitely get used to that kind of luxury. The room had amazing views and so much attention to detail. Even the toilet was ridiculously cool - with a heated seat and a control panel for settings that really don't need mentioning here. Amazing as it was though, I don't think I could quite justify spending three weeks rent on one night in a hotel.... Anyway, now for the pictures!

ReplyDeleteLooks like a great little trip! I've never seen a toilet with settings on it, now I'm weirdly curious as to what they could be...
