Day 12 - Saturday 27 July - Sail into Sydney

Well we are back on dry land. Sailed into Sydney harbour on time this morning in the cold and dark but the start of a beautiful day here in Sydney. Watched the sun rise over the Opera House.

Then turned our attention to the Harbour Bridge and the activity at the Overseas Passenger Terminal.

Then our last selfie of the holiday.

Could find nowhere at the passenger terminal or Circular Quay rail station to leave our luggage so we headed to the airport and dropped it off at Virgin. Can't understand why both cases now weigh more than they did when we left Coolangatta. Maybe there is some unknown law of cruising that says the weight gain from eating transfers to your suitcases!!! Anyhow with that load shed we headed back into Circular Quay and then on the ferry to Manly to sample some of Adriano Zumbo's treats.

Geting ready to sample the treats while being ever vigilant for marauding seagulls!

Half eaten Bastard Cake.

Lamb sausage roll

Back to Circular Quay to catch a train back to the airport and one last look at the Spirit.

Now chilling out in the Virgin Lounge at the airport - Alison has found the wine but Philip is sticking to softer drinks. Air-conditioning in the Lounge not real cool and he does not want to nod off!
