Our flight to Sydney was uneventful and we
arrived safely to our hotel on Friday afternoon. Friday evening we met up with a group of
travellers who had been corresponding for months about this trip, some of which
we knew from previous trips we had done.
A good night was had by all there, renewing and making new acquaintances.
Saturday the 13th July, following our safety drill, we set
sail at 4pm from White Bay Cruise terminal in Sydney Harbour. We
were told that the ship had a slight clearance to pass under the Harbour
Bridge, but from where we were standing it must have only been a matter of
inches. We were waved off by a group of
bridge climbers (top left corner of the close up) who were dwarfed by the size
of the bridge. I know this will be of particular interest to
some friends who will be doing this soon ~ Good Luck.
Immediately after the bridge we passed the
Opera House, one of the worlds iconic buildings before leaving the harbour and on
our way at last.
Next stop Brisbane!
