Ahh, well let’s just say that it’s so nice to have been in Sydney – very much needed and well received! Jen, I regret to inform you that our giant sushi roll place has closed and a café opened in its place. Johnny, all the usual bars are still around! We had a gorgeous sunrise sail-in and docked in Circular Quay, which is right between the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. As soon as we could, Ronan, Jon, Steve and I got off the ship and went to get a meat pie. The good news is that by law, all meat pies must now have at least 25% real beef… it did taste great, despite that terrifying news! I spent most of the first day just wondering all over downtown Sydney, the parks and the Botanical Garden. The best part is that the humidity is normal and not like the grossly humid tropical islands that we just came from over the past couple weeks. Jon, Chris (from the new Prinsendam cast) and I went out that night to Arq (Johnny, the big room wasn’t open because it wasn’t the weekend), where a lot of ship people ended up, quite random. Monica – from the Prinsendam World Cruise ’06 – lives in Sydney and I saw her throughout the day as well as at the club. It was an early night, however, as we got back to the ship at about 3:30am.
