Sydney - 23rd February 2008.  Dennis was up at 5:40 to witness the arrival into Sydney Harbour, stupendous, a beautiful start to a beautiful day.  We took a cab to the Aquarium at Darling Harbour where we met Kathleen, Barry, Mark, Kerrin, Josh and Ali quite a family reunion.  The Aquarium was a fabulous insight into the marine life of Australia.  Off to lunch at the hotel Grace then as Mark and family departed Aunty Teresa and her friend Thelma arrived.  So lovely to see them both we spend the afternoon catching up on all the news.  We then went to Aunty Teresa's club for a fantastic Chinese meal, the prawns were the best we had ever tasted.  So after  tearful farewells we wereoff, back to the ship.  What a great day with our lovely Aussie family.  The atmosphere in Sydney was out of this world there was such a buzz around the harbour with all the excitement of the ship being docked at Central Quay.  We overlooked the Opera house from our balcony just the right place to be.

Saturday's visit
Hello Dennis and Irene. Saturday was a wonderful day for us meeting up with you. Sydney really turned it on! What about that Chinese meal!!

We had a few hours on Sunday afternoon before we had to go to the airport so we went down to the Quay and also took a harbour cruise. It was a great way to see your 'wee boat' up close.

Have a great time in Queensland

Love Kathleen and Barry
