Leaving Sydney – Day 25

I am writing this from the Seabourn Encore as we sail from Sydney to Brisbane, which we will reach on Friday morning. It was a relaxed morning; Marion had a hair appointment so I took the opportunity to walk round the Domain. One of the lovely things about Sydney is the plethora of open space that gives it a very open feel.

It was then time to get ready for the cruise. The transfer was very smooth and we were on board on in our suite within twenty minutes of arriving at the cruise terminal.

Having finally unpacked after three and a half weeks travelling we settled down on deck to watch the departure from Sydney. It was truly wonderful; although we had previously sailed round the harbour at night on the ferries the view from the ship was amazing. I think I have some great photos, which hopefully I will get the opportunity to post later in the holiday. The Harbour Bridge and the Opera House were beautifully illuminated and were framed by the modern city skyline. It was stunning, a memorable end to our stay in Sydney. 

It was also a sad farewell as we have enjoyed our time in Sydney; it was a very welcoming city, dominated by the spectacular harbour.
