Finally, we made it to Sydney where 25 years ago Dana and I had our first date (though it wasn’t really a “date”) for a dink in a jazz bar “on the rocks” (just above where our ship docks) and then the next day to the Taranga Zoo.
This incredible city is in my top ten list for spectacular places to sail into. Unfortunately we had a lot of rain each of the two days but it is still just great to be there! Captain Dag and I have gotten out there several times early morning and gone rollerblading around the botanical gardens, the Opera House and the city itself. Alas, not this time with all the rain. That concluded the first segment of five on this world journey.
So, we said good-bye to some ol’ friends and now we have about 250 more new guests who arrived. We knew many of these guests who have boarded and that’s always great for us – and it is always great for them!
The second day a very, very nice and generous couple who sails with us often hosted a fish and chips luncheon for more that 25 officers and staff and a famous fish restaurant named Doyles – It was soooooooo good and had a great view of the Opera House!
Great shot of our Voyager sailing by the Sydney Opera House.
Enjoying a cigar, Dana's company and a great view (previous sunny visit)
