Crown!

Wow wow wowowowow. It was fantastic!


We arrived there at 2, the marble pillars stretched up two floors to the ceiling. The reception area was so grand, and dimly lit. They had a Christmas show playing in the foyer next to the fountains. Checked in, everything was fine. We spent about 15 minutes trying to work out which floor we were on. The lady at the counter had given us a little card holder with two room cards and a card with a room number on it, 1218. Little did we know the first two digits of the card meant the floor number V_V. We were travelling up and down the elevators, we thought it you stuck the card in the 'insert card here' port in the elevator it would automatically take us to the floor, instead you had to press it as well. 
The room was massive, a gigantic king bed with white and black linen, about 10 cushions on it. A desk with two chairs, a day bed and a 50 inch LCD in front of the bed, with foxtel (score). The bathroom was marble, with two basins, a chandelier, separate shower and toilet and a huge deep soak bath with an LCD tv to enjoy while enjoying a scrub. 
A very expensive mini bar next to the bed. There was a piccolo bottle of champagne $38.99 !!! WHAT THE HELL! Coke was 5 dollars for a small glass bottle. Let's just say we did NOT touch the minibar after we saw that. 


We went and saw the new Narnia Movie in 3D which was really good too btw. Coke a large diet coke and bf got a large popcorn AND Peanut M'n'M's (ahhhhh yum) so needless to say, I pigged out on that. However in fairness to us, we hadn't eaten all day and by this time it was 4pm and i'm a fat COWWW. :X


So after the movie we go back to hotel (which is in the same complex, so convenient) and i have an hour long soak in the tub. Was so refreshing! There were all these soaps and shampoo and conditioners and even a shaver with shaving cream! 
Afterwards we went out for dinner to the 'Crown Pub'. It was so so scrumptious! I couldn't decide what i wanted. It was so difficult deciding wether or not to continue to ruin my day and get a massive chicken burger or pasta or something withh a zillion calories.
I compromised, something tasty but kinda healthy a 'Taco Beef Salad' full of HEAPS of green leafy lettuce, a small portion of spicy mince meat, salsa, avocado and some sour cream. The naughtiest part of the dish was the fried tortilla. (I ATE IT!) I didn't count any calories for that night, i also had a pint of low-carb beer. BF got a wagyu steak burger. I had a small bite and it was heavenly. The meat was so pink it was delishhh. 
After that we ventured onto Galactic Circus, for those of you that don't know what that is, it's like a massive play center full of coin slot machines playing DDR, racing cars games, photobooths, candy and toy winning mahines - you get the picture. 

We spent $20 there, damn machine ate 6 dollars! Was not happy. We left, unenthusiastic.


THEN! My first time evaaa, at the casino! Had lots of fun, played the slot machines mostly, we spent 40 and came out with 60. Which was a fluke because we won the 40 back, then decided to try roulette. I told bf to put 5 dollars on red and he put 5 dollars on number 21, and he won 30 dollars, Wooo!

Had another pint of beer each,
went back to the hotel and had some sexious sexy times (lol yes you needed to know that!) 
I was SO RAVENOUS for breakfast i ate two eggs and a piece of toast! 
Anyway, great night, fantastic hotel 5/5
:D
Here's a shitty pic of me and the BF and the view. Didn't get any good shots of the room ( i was nekked most of the time, and there were mirrors everywhere so,yuh)

  4. Wah, is all I can say!

    That sounds so much fun!! I remember going to a few hotels with my ex like that - definitely the most fun times of our relationship.
    Hope you loved every single second of it, even the machine eating your $6.
