Two nights going nowhere

Here's a cruise which could be just the starter for bigger and better cruising holidays. 

It is a two-night thank-you cruise for that special  person in your life.  Royal Caribbean International's Radiance of the Seas super-liner brings on the magic  when she visits Sydney in November of next year.  It could be you and your loved one sailing  the harbour for a two-night cruise on board.  The prices start from $469 per person, twin share, which is below some previously advertised prices.   The price includes onboard dining from a choice of 5-star restaurants, grills and cafes, port charges and taxes, and even onboard gratuities.  To book your spot for this two nights of luxury and glamour,  go to www.ecruising.travel  

One of the best in Australia

The Hills district of Adelaide  has been named as having a cooking school listed as one of the best in the country.  Competing against a line-up of other cooking establishments, the Hills Sticky Rice cooking School has the ribbon to prove it.  Owner Claire Fuller has been overwhelmed by the interest shown in her school since her success at the national tourism awards.   Check on availabilities by ringing  (08) 8339 1314.
