On the 13th of February we reached Sydney. We were very fortunate as the ship docked right across from the Opera House. It certainly is as beautiful as we have always seen in photos. The tour that we had chosen for this port was a harbor cruise. It has been said that this is one of the most beautiful harbors in the world and we certainly would agree. In many areas the harbor is lined with multimillion-dollar homes that are built up the steep hillsides. The city is quite large as it has one-fourth of the entire country’s population. After the cruise, we walked into the city and visited many of the interesting shopping arcades, found the Chinatown, and then walked along the harbor near the Opera House. The only problem we had was that we did not have enough time here.
During the next 3 days we will be at sea on our way to Cairns, Australia, we decided to take the classes offered in learning how to play bridge. We have only begun to learn, but we have decided it is a game that requires a lot of concentration, a good memory, and strategy. Well we will have fun trying to learn anyway even if we are not that good.
The weather has improved from rain but we have heard that there may be more cyclones on our way. Well hope we make to Cairns without too much swells.

Bridge, huh? Now you can play with Maureen and maybe John if he can be convinced to join in.
