It was kind of sad to leave Sydney and
New South Wales this afternoon. Here are a few of my parting shots as the ms Amsterdam left Circular Quay this afternoon.
Tomorrow will be a sea day, and we will arrive in Melbourne (and the state of
Victoria) on Feb. 13 (Friday). Remember, I'm a day ahead of folks back home.

Controversial during the time of construction, the Sydney Opera House is a symbol for this great city. A final shot as we exited the harbor this evening on our way to Melbourne. |

The Sydney Harbor Bridge: I promise to do the climb of this bridge if I am able to return to Sydney. |

Fort Denison is a beautiful site as we make our way out of the harbor and into the Pacific Ocean. |

So long, Sydney. I hope I'll be able to return one day. |
