Early Morning Walkabout

We awoke early and had a leisurely get up.  We had a room-only deal at the hotel so we went walkabout to find something to eat and to enjoy the Sydney waterfront.  We knew that the ship would have docked by now, so were keen to get photos.  We walked along the waterfront which has its own ‘Walk of Fame’ which honours Australians, some of whom we knew while others were unfamiliar to us and why Anthony Trollope was among them we weren’t quite sure!



We enjoyed the Opera House peninsula, land sacred to the Aboriginal people and acknowledged with gratitude by the authorities on sign boards around the area.  The sun was coming out and the temperature becoming very pleasant on what was a quiet Sunday morning in Sydney.  We had breakfast in the Opera House Bar with a Harbour Bridge, cruise ship and harbour view.  A cheese and ham toasted sandwich plus a pot of tea and a cappuccino came to around £20.  On the way back to the hotel we searched for Starbuck’s mugs and looked in one or two souvenir shops.
