Begin Your Cruise Holiday From Sydney For a Fabulous Pacific Cruise

Introducing Sydney

Sydney is the biggest city in Australia, having a population of practically four million. The city is situated around the eastern coastline of Australia. The Blue Mountains are positioned for the west, and also the Pacific Ocean to the east. Sydney was established in 1788 when a convict fleet arrived in Australia from England. The new settlement was named following Lord Sydney, the British Secretary of State, who had suggested that the British establish a penal colony in Australia.

To start with life in the new settlement was harsh, with simple bunks in wood huts, tiny amounts of sustenance, along with a callous regime of authority. Even worse suffering, although, was heaped upon the Aboriginal natives, who had been wiped out in vast numbers by the infectious illnesses brought by the newcomers.

Nine Things to See and Do in Spain

June 23, 2017 - by Deborah McDaniel

1. Explore Madrid

The capital city is well known for its tapas, museums and amazing nightlife. In this city, nothing really starts until midnight. Make sure that you visit one of the world’s largest museums, the Prado as well as the Royal Palace. You will definitely want to allot some time to stroll through Plaza Mayor, the main square.

2. Enjoy Barcelona

As in Madrid, Barcelona is also well-known for its amazing historic streets, late-night eating and partying. Here you will find ample amounts of history, learn to sleep until 10:00 pm, and just like the locals do, eat dinner at midnight. It is strongly suggest that you pay the history museum a visit – it is one of Europe’s very best. One of my favourite cities in the entire world is Barcelona, and I am pretty sure that it is already on your “places I must see” list.…
