Sydney is great. We've been sleeping in almost every morning at our six star hotel (Ewelina's relatives) and done a lot of fun things during the days and evenings.

We been taking the Rivercat to town, which gives the traveler a wonderful view of Sydney from the water. We have been sunbathing at Bondi, having dinner at Manly, checking out the world's biggest IMAX theater, walked Harbour Bridge, Sydney Aquarium, you name it ...

One of the highlights was definitely yesterday's arrival of Cunard's 40 year old cruise ship Queen Elizabeth which is now making its final world tour. It was a special feeling to watch the Titanic of our days - well, this one didn't sink - come in and blow its magnificent whistle.

Three more days, then we are off. First stop: Coffs Harbour.
