After breakfast we went a walk around Sydney circular quay, the Fred Olsen ship Balmoral was in today .In the afternoon met Marion (we met her on the Fiji cruise) and took the ferry to Manly but the weather was bad and we had to abort our walk around Manly very quickly, if it had been nice it would have been very pretty and the beach would have been inviting although there wasw still some surfers.In the evening we went to the Latitude restaurant at the hotel which was extremely good.

N ever to stand still for long , after breakfast went a walk around The Rocks where there was market stalls and then took a city tour for 2 hours after which we took a ferry to Watson Bay, a seaside resort. Their speciality being a seafood platter and fish and chips, although we did not have this it looked extremely good on the table next to us.We returned to Circular Quay Sydney and went on the Captain Cooks sunset dinner cruise where we saw the Queen Mary 2 coming into port and docking at Garden Island because it is to big for Darling Harbour and the Circular Quay.After the dinner cruise we managed to get back to the hotel in time for 40 mins in the club lounge for cocktail time for drinks and canopes.
