Sydney and at Sea

We finished our day in Sydney yesterday. I must say it was nice to get back

on land after being on the ocean. However being there was a bit of like being at sea in that in rained really hard for most our our walkabout! We headed to the Tim Horton's for a cup of coffee and a tea and just wandered for the rest of the day. The rain came down sideways and the only way out of it was to duck into stores and overhangs. We were totally soaked by the time we returned to the ship. Despite the fact that it rained most of the time, I tried to take pictures of the old houses and buildings. The computer may be able to enhance them a bit. However I think that I did get the second really nice picture of the trip. The first was in Bergen, this one was in a church where the colours were unexpected in that you could not see the tones when you looked at them. It may be a submittable one.

Today is another day of line dancing followed by a talk on polar explorers and finally another pub lunch. Today was prawns and french fries. We are going to a wine tasting and then the we have been invited to the wine and cheese reception in the art gallery. I think we get invited because we are in the system having won some free art in the past!
I should mention that the guitar player last night was a lot of fun. He was a comedian that took popular songs and changed the words. Even after a pasta meal he kept me awake. Last night it was rocking and rolling pretty good. We are on the tenth deck and the spray was going past the balcony. It has settled down now. Time for tea and watching the waves. Temperatures still in the low teens.
