O.K., I'll give it a go... Here's a realistic scenario... :evil3:
=; Kicking off at Jacksons on George at 11:00AM, if we allow 5 minutes stroll between pubs, :walk:
and 25 minutes to drink your chosen poison, :drinkers: the run would look something like this... :evil3:

Arrive 10:00 AM – Jackson’s on George - Drinks - Breakfast - Depart 11:00 AM :tonqe:

Arrive 11:05 AM – Fortune of War - Drinks - Depart 11:30 AM

Arrive 11:35 AM – The Observer - Drinks - Depart 12:00 NOON

Arrive 12:05 PM – Mercantile Hotel - Drinks - Depart 12:30 PM
Arrive 12:35 PM – Harbour View Hotel – Drinks – Group Photo - Depart 1:00 PM :3some:

Arrive 1:05 PM – Hero of Waterloo - Drinks - Depart 1:30 PM

Arrive 1:35 PM – Lord Nelson – Drinks - Lunch - Depart 2:30 PM :tonqe:

Arrive 2:35 PM – Hotel Palisade - Drinks - Depart 3:00 PM
(May still be closed for renovations, phone rang out to a full messagebank which wasn't accepting new messages.) [-(

Arrive 3:05 PM – Captain Cook Hotel - Drinks - Depart 3:30 PM

Arrive 3:35 AM – The Australian - Drinks - Depart 4:00 PM

Arrive 4:05 AM – Glenmore Hotel - Drinks - Depart 4:30 AM

Arrive 4.35 PM – Lowenbrau Keller - Drinks - Depart 5:00 PM

Arrive 5:05 PM – Orient Hotel - Drinks – Dinner - Depart 11:00 PM (?) :tonqe:

If you think about the usual time we arrive at the Orient Hotel, then I think this is pretty acurate... :thumbright:

:type: Image :shock:

A couple of notes here... :evil3:

What I have done is swap the sequence of the Hotel Palisade and the Lord Nelson,
this will put us at the Lord Nelson a respectable half an hour earlier, then if it turns
out that the Hotel Palisade is still closed for renovations, we just finish earlier...

I can then ring the Lord Nelson and book for 20 people for lunch at 1:30PM... :thumbright:

Bearing in mind, we always tend to get somewhat distracted by the Schnapps :drinkers:
and the Frauliens :love1: at the Lowengau :partyman: Keller, but that's of little concern
as by that stage, we're only one drink from the finish line at the Orient Hotel... :lol:

How does that sound..? :dontknow:

:type: Image :shock:


:director: O.K., a quick update on the Lord Nelson lunch deal... :tonqe:

[-X They won't take a booking for 20 people any later than 1:00PM, (we estimated 1:35PM...)
...so it will be a brisk :walk: trot to shave about half an hour off the earlier part of the run... :-k

...that's 5 minutes off each of the 6 preceding pubs... =; ...it's either that, or take our chances, :dontknow:

...so I bit the bullet and booked us for 1:00PM... :roll: (Who the @#$% thought of this anyway...???) #-o

P.S. And it's pointless leaving Jackson's on George any earlier, the Fortune of War doesn't open until 11:00AM... :roll:

Yup, the Harbour View isn't the ONLY hotel with a harbour bridge view...

It's just one of the BETTER ones... :upy:

I think we can effectively remove the Palisade Hotel for the foreseeable future:

Seems it's still empty and awaiting refurbishment.... or destruction.... :(
