Last Sleep Tonight...

Friday, March 6. Beauty day. 26 C.

26 C, degrees [79 F.] is comfortable in any hemisphere and that is what it is here and loving it. We were out on deck earlier than usual if that is possible this morning. It is now considered Autumn here,  [Fall]. 

We are in Sydney now, for two days. Around 300 passengers were off the ship by 9:00 this morning, going either home or continuing their travels to wherever. Another lot of about the same quantity are getting on for the 33 day trip to San Diego before noon today, some will be stragglers and join tomorrow. [In 33 days we hope to have some of the vegetables in and beginning to grow.]

We are docked across from the Sydney Opera House, about 300 yards/meters across from us. It is a beehive of activity, both on land and in that tiny harbour. There are some wide variety of ferries, scurrying around like ants in what looks like a shambles but is in fact a well coordinated scheduling arrangement between the ferries; like bumble bees on a hollyhock, but never bumping into each another! 

Fellette and I have been here several times, before so we excused ourselves from the hustle bustle of this interesting but very large city and prepared ourselves for the longest airplane journey we have ever been on in or lives tomorrow, 14 hours.

Our minds are already home as we are getting up to date with happenings at home that will very, very soon, be part of.

A Wonderful Day!

Coffee on deck at 5:30. The harbour coming to life.

It gets to be a very busy place quickly.

A great selection of sizes of boats in the Ferry Fleet, nine to be exact.

We shuffled our bags around a bit today. Fortunately, we will not need to handle these five. They will stay where they are, in our stateroom, for the balance of the intended cruise of 93 days, then Luggage Forward will bring them home to us in April
