Review: Les Misérables The Arena Spectacular

1 week ago | thefinerthingsintravel.com | Helen Hayes

What:Les Misérables The Arena SpectacularWhere:The ICC, 14 Darling Dr, SydneyThe story:Do you hear the people sing? Oh my, did these people sing. They sang the roof off the ICC in what turned out to be one hell of an unforgettable night in Australian music history. No exaggeration. Australia has had a long love affair with Les Misérables, which is why this show broke the record for shows at the ICC, selling out 15 nights.

I am offered a free cocktail or mocktail at check-in at Moxy Sydney Airport. Well, it would be rude not to, right? It is not often the check in desk is a cocktail-straw away from a lively bar, but as I come to find out, the Moxy is anything but ordinary. I have stayed at many airport hotels and the experience is normally completely focused on grabbing sleep and food before the onward journey.
What it's really like to ride world's steepest ski cable car in Switzerland

Jan 31, 2025 | snowsbest.com | Helen Hayes

It’s all part of the mammoth Schilthornbahn 20XX project, in the postcard-pretty part of the Jungfrau Ski Region. And it is mammoth. It involves the development of two new cable cars that opened this season between Stechelberg and Mürren (the steepest in the world) plus new cable cars between Mürren and Birg.
