Sydney - Finally on dry land

We woke up early the morning we arrived in Sydney to watch as we came into the harbour. The sun had not risen yet but it was worth it.

Back in our cabin, before we left to get off the ship for the last time, we stepped on to the balcony for a final look and were pleasantly surprised with what we saw. 

Welcome to Australia!! 

Our friends were waiting to meet us as we got off the ship and we spent the day walking around taking in the sights around the city.  We took a ferry over to see Manly Beach. 

Back in Sydney, we went to lunch in a revolving restaurant at the top of Center Point Tower.  This gave us a great view of all around Sydney from above.

Back on the ground, we walked through the rocks, the oldest part of Sydney. After walking through this area we headed over to the Sydney Opera House to take a closer look, and had a drink with our friends at the Opera Bar, a nice open air venue beside the Opera House and the Harbour.

A wonderful first day in Sydney!
