When given the choice of three rooms at The Collectionist Hotel yesterday, I went with the Santa Rosa Suite. The huge comfy bed (which faces the balcony) was a major factor in my choice. I’m loving the warm, colourful decor too.
So often hotel rooms can be sterile and institutional. This one is anything but.

I’m indulging my love of art — sculpture in particular — with a visit to Sydney to see Sculpture by the Sea at Bondi.
This involved a five am start to catch my flight, which was surprisingly not full and I had a whole row of seats to stretch out in.
I’m staying in a new hotel, in a part of town I’ve never been to before. So far, so awesome.
One of the cool things about The Collectionist is that all the rooms are designed by local artists — and they are all different. The other cool thing is that you get to choose your room. I had a choice of three and picked The Santa Rosa Suite. I’ll give you a peep inside tomorrow.
I’m not sure if it’s a legacy of my recent cold, or a sign that I’m getting old, but the last time I came to Sculpture by the Sea three years ago, I headed straight from checking in to Bondi Beach and walked the sculpture trail to the end at Tamarama Beach (and then walked back).
Today, I felt too tired to face the 12km bus trip to Bondi, let alone a 3km (return) walk around the exhibition, so I’m saving my energy for tomorrow.
Instead I’ve been exploring the neighbourhood and back towards the CBD, where I found dinner at Fishbowl.
A note to all The Changing Seasons contributors.
I will update the blogroll with links to your posts whenever I am able to, but I may be a little slower than usual.
