I quote from our guide Peter Bailey.
"We started today at Sydney Opera House where you did the tour
From there, we went past Mrs Macquarie's Chair, through Woolloomooloo, Kings Cross, Darling Point and Double Bay, then stopped at Bondi's Best for lunch
We collected sand from Bondi Beach, then passed Tamarama and Bronte beaches, and went through Centennial Park and Paddington
We crossed the Fig Tree, Tarban Creek, Gladesville, Iron Cove, Anzac and Sydney Harbour bridges, and stopped in Kirribilli for a view of your ship, the opera house and harbour bridge
From there, we went past Balmoral Beach, then crossed the Spit Bridge for a view of Middle Harbour
We retuned to the city via Roseville Bridge and Northbridge, and went through Chinatown and The Rocks, and passed Darling Harbour, before heading to your ship"
He also sent this map showing the relative size of Australia compared with the US.
We boarded our ship a little after 3 pm and have already endured our mandatory emergency muster drill. Now we have two days of sailing at sea so we can rest up and get rid of our jet lag.
