(I decided this stop on our road trip deserved an entry all of its own.)
Lisa and I had been told that we had to stop at this place called the Madonna Inn. It was on the way and we decided it’d make a good break in the drive.
I haven’t laughed so much in a long time.
It was awe-inspiringly tacky or as I said truly tack-o-rific!. I don’t think there’s anything in Australia that would get close to it in sheer tackiness. The chick in reception must’ve known we were laughing at the place and I couldn’t look at Lisa for longer than about two seconds without wanting to burst out laughing. When we got back into the car we both cracked up.
So, without further ado… The Madonna Inn.
At first you think the sign is that pink to get attention…
…but then you notice the lamp posts are also pink.
We needed to use the bathroom and this was waiting for us. Did you know your beauty is in your smile?
We then went into the main dining room to be greeted by a girl on a swing.
Yup, that’s definitely a pink dining room.
The chandelier defies description.
Isn’t the entrance into the bar just alluring?
I’ve never seen a bar dressed in pink leather before.
Mmmm… pink and blue leather chairs. Check out the carpet!
There was also a female loo downstairs that I just couldn’t take a picture off because I couldn’t stop laughing. It was all pink. The walls were covered in shiny, pink, patterned wallpaper that unfortunately flared big time when I actually tried to take a photo. The doors featured quilted pink leather on them. It was stunning in its tackiness.
