We passed under the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
The Opera House is especially beautiful seen from the water.
The boat made a short stop at the Luna Park.
Dean and I disembarked at Darling Harbour and had a wander and a picnic. Here we saw the tallship James Craig and the old lighthouse boat that is part of the Maritime Museum, as well as a huge cruise ship and two paddlewheel tourist boats.
On the return journey Dean chose to sit inside the cabin, out of reach of the hot sun.

looks like a great adventure for you guys, weather and all
ReplyDeleteThis is such a wonderful, fun excursion. Dean must be treasuring every moment he has with his grandma. You had such a sparkling day together. It never rained the whole week we were in Australia a couple of years ago. I'm so glad Naomi found such a perfect place to raise her family. (I heard about the no tipping, everybody required to vote, strong gun laws, longevity stuff about Down Under. Sounds like Utopia.)
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. I want to go to Australia even more now. I am so glad that you get to enjoy such a wonderful long trip with your family!!

I am wondering if the cooler air when you return home will be a relief or be miserable.

Hi Dina,
ReplyDeletethat tall ship? James Craig, is it named for the character in Man from Snowy River?
