Wandering the streets of Forbes


Before the others got up I went for a walk around the streets of Forbes. I did not see a single prad. We stayed in the old grandeur of the Albion Hotel. Though the rooms were spartan and cheap. On the first night we had managed to score two rooms, so I had one to myself, but owing to a miss-communication, which I put down to country town style organisation, we only had one room for the second evening.

Whenever I write or post pictures from various parts of the UK, all my ActiveRain friends seem to like it. So I'm going to start a new daily series introducing you all to various parts of this lovely little island!

Today we're talking about Hove :-)

My better half and I always say we would move to Chicago in a heartbeat. We love the relaxed mood of the city, its proximity to the lakeshore, the grand buildings, all of the unique neighbourhoods, each with their own list of ­must-visit restaurants and shops.

The cold wind, rain, and snow didn’t seem so unbearable once we arrived at The Ritz-Carlton Chicago, a Four Seasons Hotel on the 11th through 30th floors of Water Tower Place, located just off of bustling Michigan Avenue. It had all that we needed to enjoy our beloved city while staying dry, warm, and incredibly comfortable. Login or register to post comments Read more
