Melbourne turned on a magical autumn afternoon, tiptoed out to the "back" office.

Two black swans heading to Phillip Island, others boarded the Westernport ferry from Stony Point to French and Phillip Islands - seniors go free on weekends and public holidays ✔️20240428_131521.jpg
 
I just remembered I promised someone (I think @MARTINE) that I would post photos of my CitizenM hotel in Paris. This is the second one I've stayed at - the other one was in Geneva and I think they are perfectly adequate for one - not sure how cosy it would be for two people

They had a bar on the 16th floor (not as spectacular as the one on the top of the CitizenM Bowery NYC - that is amazing because you are outside) and good views.

Everything is a bit funky - self check in and out but there are people there to help. Most ordering via QR code and you use the ipad to control your room etc

Thanks!!
Really interesting — as you say cosy.
Cool touches and nice graphics
 
Not sure @VPS , but life is pretty relaxed here
I have used my Seniors in Qld and SA without issue - maybe we just look the part 🤭
You do know your old when nobody even asks your age and just gives you a concession ticket at all the castles and stately homes that I’m going to at the moment

Thanks for Paris photos @VPS .
We looked at CitizenM in Amsterdam @ Schipol but chose to visit Haarlem for our 24 hour layover last September.
Rooms did look adequate but chose Haarlem for location.
