Scone Cup - Horse Racing - Country New South Wales Australia
Today I went to my first race meeting in my life. I wasnt sure what
to expect but the wait was killing me. Scone is a small town about 25km
from Muswellbrook and about 4 1/2 hours from Sydney. The trip was great,
the towns we passed through were so pretty. I stopped at a piggery on
the way through as they looked so cute, that was until I got up close to
them and realised they were nothing like the movie Babe.
Scone the town looks so small with quaint little shops and rural street scapes. To me it was the a shock to be waiting to get into the race course with literally thousands of other patrons. Tomy shock it was $20 a head to get in. No sob story here I was given two free passes. It just seems odd that you need to pay money to lose your money on a horse.
The set up was amazing! They had portable TAB betting boothes everywhere and the true believes were there diligentlly placing money on their "sure things" It was the stuff of dreams for them. The bookmakers were doing a roaring trade with the famous Robbie Waterhouse keeping book there. I decided to give it a go with my trusty five dollars in hand and no idea how to pick a horse let alone work a self serve TAB booth. My faith was placed on number 2 on a horse with a forgettable name and a more forgetable run. Well that was $5 wasted so I bet with my head and not over it and stopped at that.
All in all a great day. I didnt really understand the gambling part or the attraction of it, but it wasnt unpleasant if you know what i mean. The horses looked great the jockeys so short and skinny. The only thing I thought let the day down was the food on offer though ive had far worse.

Carnival Legend Cruise, Australia to the South Pacific
Carnival Legend Cruise, Australia to the South Pacific
Life is good,
On monday I head off for a cruise on the Carnival Legend. Its 11 nights and I'm so looking forward to it.
The ship has been "ozzified" a term I hate with a passion. The main Item for me is that it has Australian 3 pin style power points. The public bar thats been renovated to Asutralian tastes doesnt really interest me. I find regardless of the cruise ship or line the entertainment is usually great. There tends to be a gross manippulation of artificial smiles and expressions by the performers but when you get passed that its great. I will be eating in the free resturaunt every night to get a steak. The buffet on the ships is pretty good but you never see a steak there. A good thing the Legend and pirit have is a free 24hr soft serve ice cream and yoghurt, I will be camping these machines. The Coffee machines on board the spirit were no good but the specialty coffee is always good and its a reasonable price also. Anyway I will be making lots of videos when I get back so please like comment and subscribe when they are uploaded.
