Most likely we sailed by Caloundra around 1am, we probably arrived at the heads the Heads at about 4am and into Sydney around 7am. With the sun rising around 6:30 it seemed a great idea in theory but didn't work out so in practice.
But it was still light enough for us to see the Sydney Opera House in the predawn light and the Harbour Bridge as we sailed under it.
Viewing the Sydney city skyline from our balcony was great as well.
We had packed virtually everything the night before, our disembarkation from the Sydney Cruise Terminal to the Airport went well and we arrived with plenty of time to spare.
The flight back to Brisbane was packed. On our way home we flew over Brisbane's Gateway Bridge, a couple of days earlier we had sailed underneath it.
Our friends were at the airport to greet us and to take us the last 100 or so kilometres back home.
There was little rest for us as we had visitors arriving from Newcastle after lunch on Saturday so there was luggage to unpack, washing to be done, lawns to be mowed, pool to be cleaned and the house needed a spruce up as well.
My cough is kind of under control, Trish's cold is on the mend and the weather here is high 20's, despite it being late May.
In a few days I will post a summary on our Cruise experience with the Princess Line. Cruising is probably off our agenda for the immediate future.
As I type the major Telstra/Bigpond internet network is suffering from continuous connections and disconnections. Since I began typing this the net has been off and back on again twice. As you can guess businesses across the country which depend on this network are going ballistic!
