A DAY IN SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA

Today was our turnaround day in Sydney.  We were here two weeks ago, but were rained on and saw little.  Today began with cloud cover, but that soon burned off and the sun shone brightly. 

We decided to walk from the harbour to the Botanical Gardens, the Opera House, Mrs. McQuarrie's Chair (a viewpoint over the city skyline) and Government House.  We walked for 3 hours, then returned to the ship for lunch.

Now we've left Sydney after a great sail-off.  Sydney does have a very beautiful harbour.  There are all kinds of boats plying the waters--sailboats, ferries, tour boats, and today the Sun Princess was only 5 minutes behind us. 

Tomorrow is another sea day before we reach Brisbane for what we hope will be an exciting day.  More later!

g'day!
