Although the ship docks in Sydney after each cruise so far, I really had not managed to see very much of it besides the harbor in which we currently dock. On turnaround day, it’s usually the busiest for us since 2000 passengers leave the ship by 10:30AM and 2000 new passengers embark an hour later. I recently have started working the night shift at the desk for the month of March as each of us has to take a turn in doing that shift. I volunteered myself for the month of March therefore I will get to see all the ports for our upcoming Asia cruise.
Since I worked all night on our last turnaround day, I actually had time to go out and explore Sydney before we sailed away. I headed into town on a mission to go to the Opera House and actually got a bit lost but it was a great way to explore the city. I found an information center that provided me with all kinds of information and maps of places to check out.
I ended up exploring through the Darling Harbor which is filled with old ships, tons of water front restaurants and shops. I finally made it across the city to find the Harbor Bridge, the Opera House, and then sit in the Rocks Park and enjoy gelato in the sun. It actually is quite weird that I haven’t seen much of Australia considering we dock there after each cruise.
Although it was tiring after a full nights work, it was definitely worth taking in the sites of Sydney.
