Day 2 continued!

5^th January, 10.42pm

Today was fun. We took the tender to Walsh’s Bay near Circular Quay and spent about 3 hours in the city. The Lanes and Quayles took the monorail sightseeing, and then walked through Pitt St mall and on back up to Circular Quay. Had a Starbucks Coffee Frappucino, which I have been hanging out for since we were last anywhere near a Starbucks, which was probably Europe in 2007. They are just so yummy!! At about 1pm, we headed back to the Millennium on the tender and I started to feel sick. I think it was a combination of travelling backwards in a ferry on large-ish waves, being hungry and extremely tired! I think it was mainly that I was exhausted. I spent most of the afternoon in bed sleeping to try and gather some more energy. At 5.15pm, we had our muster drill, which is the lifeboat drill. It was fairly long and boring. After that, we went up onto the top deck for the sail away party. There was a fantastic band playing and we had a stack of yummy snack food!! We visited Mum and Dad in their cabin to sit on the balcony and watch Sydney fade into the distance.

Dinner was lovely again and we enjoyed chatting to our waiters. Now we are heading off to bed because we plan on having another early start in the morning – getting up to go for a run and to the gym. Goodnight!
