I woke up at about 5am just as we were sailing under the Sydney Harbour Bridge, it was still dark, but quite breath taking. Queen Victoria had taken prime position in Circular Quay, but we didn’t mind because it meant we went under the bridge and docked in Darling Harbour.
Neville met us at 9am, we had coffee, and headed to Circular Quay to get the ferry to Manly Beach. We wandered around there; it’s a beautiful seaside resort area; not quite so well known as Bondi but just as spectacular in my opinion.
From there we took the Ferry back to Circular Quay and went to the Ice Bar. Last year we took a Baltic Cruise, where every city we docked in had an ice bar but we didn’t go in any of them. So to experience one of these bars, which was -15 degrees centigrade, was quite bizarre when it was 28/82 outside!
After half an hour, my legs were beginning to feel the cold, so we took another ferry to Watson’s Bay where we had lunch in Doyles Fish Restaurant. All in all, we had a perfect day messing about on the river! Back to Darling Harbour for more drinks and a snack before we said our goodbyes to Nev who flew back to Melbourne.
We were back on board for 9.30pm for sail away, approximately 100 new passengers got on board today.
