travel with Laura IT’S A MYSTERY ...

Dear fellow travellers and friends, welcome everyone to my travel page.

On Sunday 23 April, Paramount Tours took a keen group of travellers on a Mystery Tour. These tours are designed to keep the traveller in suspense until the last person has boarded the bus on the day of the tour, but the essence of the tour is to provide the traveller with a “thought free” day, where all the activities of the day have been taken care of.

What a great way to spend a leisurely Sunday…not to have to worry about how the day is going to unfold….a surprise until the last minute!

For this Mystery Tour, we had our morning tea/coffee break up at Echo Point in the Blue Mountains. The blanket of fog did not dampen the enthusiasm and happy mood of every traveller.

We then had a great and plentiful buffet lunch at Merrylands Bowling Club followed by a few hours spent at the new Sydney Zoo at Bungaribee (Blacktown).

Sydney Zoo is home to over 4,000 animals and is the only combined zoo and aquarium in
