It wasn’t all that early when we sailed into Sydney Harbor.
But the sun was shining as the first of the skyscrapers appeared over some of the headlands. For the Aussies reading this – sorry for whatever I get wrong… Sydney itself is 5+ Million people and stretches along the shore line of numerous bays (5?) which makes it long, stretched out and extremely challenging to get from here to there on land with any reasonable speed. And that doesn’t ever count for the traffic.
With the bridge straight ahead and the Opera House on the left.
approaching Circular Quay means that we pass by the Navy Base (prime land there complete with dry dock) with the background of tall buildings.
and closer to the Opera House. If you notice on the edge of the picture – there is a Disney Ship sitting at the Overseas Passenger Terminal. Docking there wasn’t going to happen for us.
The fact that it was a Sunday probably helped in terms of fewer ferries to dodge as we made the sail in. And through. For anyone who has had the misfortune – we docked at White Bay Terminal.
which means you can see the CBD from here over the Anzac Bridge but it takes forever to get just that short distance.
The cruise line is obviously providing shuttle service into town dropping off at the Police & Justice Museum. George headed in to have lunch and an afternoon out with an Aussie colleague and her family. I took my crud back to bed.
