Last Day In Sydney


After a morning of recovering from the bridge climb we headed into the area known as Thai Town in Darling Harbor.  Several of the crew members had told us that the food in Thai Town was great.  We grabbed a taxi and ventured out for lunch.  After a little looking we decided on the Bangkok and were really surprised at the excellent quality of the food.  Cindy had Khao Pad Tom Yum (Fried Rice Cooked with Tom Yum paste with pork, carrots, mushrooms, onion, kaffir lime leaves, and lemon grass).  Our friends Gary and Pat came along with us which was not only fun but helpful since Gary speaks Thai.  We ran into a little rain both going and coming back from lunch. 

We said goodbye to approximately 194 passengers who departed the ship here in Sydney yesterday.  New passengers began boarding the ship at about noon.  I’m sure it will take them a few days to find their way around the ship. 
Sail away was at 7:30pm last night.  We will be cruising to our next stop,  Adelaide, Australia arriving there at approximately 7:00am on Friday, February 25, 2011.
