...BONDI Bondi beach is perhaps the most famous beach in Australia if not the World. The glowing white sand, the cool breeze from the sea and the glorious whether make it one of the greatest tourist?s attractions in Australia.

Review of Bondi Beach (Sydney)

On The Beach

Advantages: Sensual guitar solos's ; Good lyrical craftsmanship ; A good folk rock offering
Disadvantages: Some may find certain songs depressing ; Not as good as Young's pervious three iconic albums ; Not much in the way of linear notes

...one of the best live albums ever created. Then my curiosity took me into the weird and wonderful 'On the beach' lp. Neil Percival Young was born on November 12th, 1945 in Toronto, Canada. His father was a great talent himself a sportswriter and novelist. He spent the majority of his youth in a small town called Omemee, which he later wrote his hit song 'helpless' on. Tragically when he was six years old he caught a bad case of polio which weakened the left side of his body badly, he still walks with a limp as a result. His parents divorced when he was 12 and he moved back to Winnipeg with his mother and attended the local high school. He played in a variety of local rock outfits before befriending fellow folk stars Joni Mitchell and Steven Stills. He had fair success with a band called 'The buffalo Springfield' which projected...

Review of On The Beach [Remastered] - Neil Young

A Real Peach of a Beach!!

Advantages: A beautiful clean beach with something for everyone!
Disadvantages: It's so far away!!

...We usually like to try a new place every year for our summer holidays but this year we decided to return to the resort of Puerto Rico on the island of Gran Canaria after staying there last year. One of the main reasons for the return was the fact that we loved the apartments we had stayed in last year and the other main reason was for the wonderful Amadores Beach. Not being a family of beach lovers after visiting this beach once, we were totally hooked and just couldn?t get enough of it! Set with the unusual backdrop of newly built, extraordinary and very classy looking hotels built into the high volcanic rock the Amadores beach should not be missed. The beach itself is actually manmade and almost forms a complete circle with the sand being crescent shaped with huge boulders then arching out into the water leaving only a fairly...

Avonmouth Beach

Advantages: Easy parking, right on the beach, enough to keep you occupied all day.
Disadvantages: Seaweed

...I am going to admit that I must be mad. I am about to tell many readers about this little known beach in Mudeford, Christchurch, near Bournemouth and hence risk this quite little haven being bombarded with Ciao members. I have been a regular visitor to Mudeford for many years and never tire of this easy to reach beach . So it's about time I shared this secret area with you all, though I might regret this decision. ****** HOW TO GET THERE ******* Avonmouth Beach is in Christchurch, Dorset. Christchurch town centre with its very quaint shops is not over crowded even in peak season. With very easy parking facilities, this makes for an ideal holiday destination in the U.K. Leave the M3 and join the M27 at the M3 J13-J14 junction direction Bournemouth, M27, So'ton Docks. M27 Eastbound J4 -J 7. M3 - Southampton East...

Review of Avonmouth Beach

the Edmondstone Motel was great and would stay again

Advantages: a really nice place to stay cosy, clean, modern friendly handy and in expensive
Disadvantages: we have nothing negitive to say about this place

...we travel to brisbane on a regular basis,but found the Edmondstone by accident a few months ago. In our opinion,we can highly recommend this little motel because.It was not only inexpensive but clean, quiet and in a great location.From the moment you enter the reception you felt welcomed. It is nice to be recognised and even our names remembered, and just friendly people. In my opinion the rooms looked neat and tidy and spacious.Actually from our first visit we realised that it looked like they had been newly renovated . The bed was a king size and was soooo comfortable. After running around all day on business it was nice to come back to a cosy environment, after eating locally( great recommendations ) and then flopping on the bed to watch some telly on a large flat screen TV ( bigger than ours at home ) . The staff were helpful...

Don't..."Take Me To My Beach"

Advantages: A good story
Disadvantages: Dated, DiCaprio, some unpleasant scenes

...The Beach was released in 2000, adapted from the novel by Alex Garland by the team of director Danny Boyle and screenwriter John Hodge. This is a film that I saw when it came out, at the cinema I believe, I have seen it once since then, and I watched it again just a few weeks ago. The Beach stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Richard, a young American who travels to Thailand seeking adventure and escape. Once there, he meets a French couple, Étienne and Francoise, and after he is given a map to a legendary paradise-like beach, they set off on an adventure to find it. Needless to say, they do, and find the community who live there. They have a positively idyllic time for a while, and then things start to unravel. The story of The Beach is uplifting, shocking, horrifying and hilarious. I have never read the book, nor anything else by Alex...

Life's a Beach!

Advantages: tense thrilling read
Disadvantages: none

...'Beach Road' is one of James Patterson's latest offerings (written in collaboration with Peter De Jonge) and like all of his novels it is a tense psychological thriller! Unlike many of his novels which tend to be part of a series (like the Alex Cross series and The Women's Muder Club) this novel is a 'one off' and as a consequence introduces a whole new batch of characters! It is actually quite unusual at the beginning because, a bit like a play, it introduces all the characters in order of appearance. More about these later but before that I will give a brief outline of the plot without giving anything away! The novel is set in a very affluent area of the Hamptons in an area called Beach Road. Very near the beginning three young white men are murdered, execution style, in the grounds of one of The Beach Road homes. Before long...

Review of Beach Road - James Patterson

Spacious Modern Motel

Advantages: Easy to find with spacious rooms
Disadvantages: Ground level rooms subject to car noise

...Do not be put off by the reception being to the rear of the Motel. This is to avoid the crowds waiting for a table in their excellent restaurant. The rooms are spacious with large bathrooms and all the usual facilities such as multilingual tv channels and mini-bar. Facilities include a gymnasium and large swimming pool, with a sports shop to purchase those forgotten items. A general shop is located at the front of the Motel for more mundane items and gifts. The bar, situated to the rear of the Motel, is large and comfortable with sofas and armchairs, and has a view of the pool. Outside of the Motel are facilities for local sports teams and competietive games are held there. You are only a short, walking, distance of Animali which is a smal zoo. Eindhoven is only a short drive (3km) and you are at the side of the A2 with direct access...

Review of Motel, Eindhoven

Life's a beach! lol

Advantages: Nice to see
Disadvantages: too crowded

...Bondi Beach is one of Australia's most famous beaches, located in Sydney it is a huge tourist destination. Bondo or 'Boondi' is an Aboriganal name meaning 'Water breaking over rocks' or 'noise of water breaking over rocks' It is a 1 kilometre stretch of lovely sandy beach but not as tranquil as I would have liked, in fact it was over crowded with holiday makers and a squeeze to find a spot to sunbathe. I would highly recommend the Coogee to Bondi Beach walk, this is great day out and a chance to experience some of the smaller beaches along the way. The Bondi Market is worth a visit, held each Sunday 10am 5pm, Bondi also offers a varity of coffee shops and eating places. Bondi is also a popular spot for Christmas day, although it does not offer free built in BBQ's like some of the other beaches it is bring your...
