I have just had an amazing few days away in the Northern Territory We spent 3 nights at Voyages Ayers Rock Resort staying at Sails in the Desert Hotel and had a fantastic time The entire resort has not fully re-opened yet but there are plenty of options for accommodation and activities to make your stay one to remember We did the Sounds of Silence dinner walked through the Valley of the Winds at Kata Tjuta and enjoyed time relaxing around the resort I was really looking forward to the Field of Light art installation which met my expectations ndash bubbles and canapes served as you watch the sun go down and the lights start to come on was magical definitely worth experiencing

The absolute highlight for me was a Segway tour around the rock with Uluru Segway Tours I have been on a couple of Segway tours in the past so the novelty factor wasnrsquot

so high but I knew it would be a fun way to circle Uluru The guides who escorted our group were brilliant explaining the Anangu peoplersquos culture and beliefs about the rock as well as the history of tourism associated with Uluru Being so close and seeing the beauty and detail of this piece of our country has inspired me to want to discover and see more of our great nation

For foodies

Talking TapasA snack does not normally

constitute a meal but a series of delicious snacks in one sitting certainly can Enter the Spanish culinary concept of tapas popularised by the Spanish people and their delicious yet unusual eating habits Traditionally the people of Spain would bar hop and eat small snacks along the way before tucking into their dinner which is sometimes served as late as 11pm So the next time you find yourself in Spain here is a quick guide to some delicious spots

LeonThe bars in this city tend to

serve up simple tapas dishes with every drink ordered from tasty local cheese and chorizo to scrumptious fried potatoes glazed in homemade aioli The best tapas bars here are in the bustling old-world Barrio Humedo district

San SebastanThis artistic mecca is famed

for its plethora of fancy restaurants and bars When in town and after some tasty tapas head on down to the old quarter of the city There you will find bars stocked with local delights such as

traditional anchovy olive and chilli skewers and sheeprsquos cheese risotto Baaarilliant

LogronoLogrono is revered for its

winemaking but donrsquot let that reputation fool you tapas are also a highly sought-after commodity around these parts The money spot in this city is Calle Laurel boasting more than 30 tapas bars in just a two-block stretch Each venue here enjoys a distinct food identity whether it is El Sorianorsquos grilled mushroom and prawn dishes or the patatas bravas on offer at Bar Jubera

In the News

Loyalty warsQantas and Virgin Australia

are engaged in a battle for the hearts and minds of the countryrsquos frequent flyers in a tit-for-tat skirmish offering to match the status of top tier members of their respective loyalty programs

The first salvo was launched by Qantas just over a week ago offering bonus status credits and lounge access to eligible travellers with rival airlines

However this morning Virgin Australia hit back with a ldquoDiscover Gold Status Matchrdquo offer of a three month membership - and if travellers take just one eligible flight and earn 80

status credits in that period they will also receive an additional Velocity Gold membership for a travelling companion

Virgin is also extending existing Platinum and Gold status until 31 March 2022 as long as members take one flight before 28 March 2021

Kimberley on cruise radar

Although international cruise ships are still currently banned from Australian waters several operators are looking forward to the likely easing of restrictions next year which could allow a domestic Kimberley cruise season to take place

In fact such is the demand for close-to-home cruising that Silversea Cruises last week unveiled three additional itineraries in the iconic region with the extra nine-day sailings between Darwin and Broome aboard the 144-passenger Silver Explorer now scheduled for May and June 2021

Silversearsquos Kimberley fares include flights transfers and a pre-cruise hotel night as well as butler service complimentary beverages wi-fi and gratuities

Adding to the experience on-board cuisine is inspired by the flavours of Western Australia inspired by Executive Chef Alan Groom from the Kimberleyrsquos own El Questro Homestead

DiningCombining the South of France wines with a gastronomic selection of four restaurants onboard and in-room dining Scenic has everything from casual lunches to fine dining at Table La Rive their six-course degustation menu with sommelier-paired wines which happens to be my pick of the cruise Not only is the produce locally sourced it also reflects the region This truly completes the gastronomic experience
