Happily for me it seems I saved the worst nights sleep for last night. I think I was overly keen to be up when we came back into Sydney Harbour. Tony and I awoke at about 5am, just as we had just started going through Sydney Heads. It was earie and dark still so very cool to watch. We went out onto our balcony for about an hour and watched us return to civilisation - we docked just after 6.
Its officially Good Friday so super quiet in the harbour. We showered and then I nicked downstairs to get a plate of pastries and yoghurt and of course coffee. Our planned debarkation time was supposed to be 750 but at about 7 we could see people walking off.
We gathered our suitcases and headed downatairs, fully expecting to be sent to our waiting zone. Instead, we were ushered off the ship with no wait time at all!.
The process for customs was super quick too so really just a matter of handing in our customs forms and walking out. We ambled over to McDonalds for Nates second breakfast and planned our journey over to Darling Harbour where we are staying tonight. We tried to get a cab but there were none available so we opted for the train again. Quick couple of stops and then a short walk over Cockle Bay to Novotel Darling Harbour.
Id organised an early check-in so only had to wait an hour and then we got to our room. Then bam it hit - the boatlag ( feels just like jetlag). We had a short snooze and then wandered into the shopping centre to get drinks and some lunch. Watched the tv and walked back over to the shops in the afternoon and that was it. Room service dinner and then a couple of movies to keep us awake until 1030.
Sad that the trip is nearly over, but that just means its time to plan the next one :-))
