The ship arrived in Sydney at 6 am and docked at 7 AM.
We had breakfast in the dining room as we were not scheduled to disembark until 9:30am so we had plenty of time to eat and have coffee.
Around 8:30am we went to our meeting place and we called to leave around 8:45am. We grabbed our carryons and left the ship to collect our luggage.
Once we collected them we proceeded to the terminal exit where we waited for the car service to pick us up.
We arrived at the Radisson Blu at 9:45am and were able to check in early as they had a room near the elevators ready.
We went down to Circular Quay for lunch at the City Extra cafe where we had a hamburger and chips for A$25.00. Lunch was good.
We then went to the Opera House and bought tickets for the tour. Since we had 1 & 1/2 hrs before the tour started we walked to the Botanical Gardens and took a 30 min. train tour of the gardens which were very beautiful and very large in area.

Headed back for the Opera House tour. We saw all the theaters and common areas in the complex. Very nice in decor and design. We saw them setting up the props for an opera in the opera house.
We walked around the wharf area and ended up eating dinner at one of the restaurants.
Circular Quay reminded us a lot like Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco except it had a lot of different restaurants and shops.
