Our ship docked at Circular Quay at 6:10 AM.
Weather was beautiful.
We had our breakfast in the dining room and then headed up to the Tuscan Restaurant to wait for our call to disembark.
We left the ship at 8:30am and got the luggage.
Collecting our luggage and going through customs was fast and easy.
We went out to the curbside to wait for our car service.
The driver arrived a little late due to all the traffic (9:40 am), we got the luggage in the car and he drove us to the Radisson where we arrived at 10am.
Our room was ready which was really great. -#614
This meant we could put our bags in the room and do our last sight seeing of Sydney.
Since we heard so much about Darling Harbour we decided to go there and walk around and have lunch there.
We walked up to the Westfield pedestrian mall and then made a turn and walked down to the harbour and there we were- Darling Harbour.
It is a beautiful promenade with ferry boats and yachts and water on one side and hotels, offices, restaurants and cafes on the other side. We walked down a ways and spotted Bel & Brio cafe and stopped there for coffee and pastries.- both were great.
We then walked around some more until 12:15 and went to George's Mediterranean Bar and Grill for lunch. We had an appetizer and side dishes and Sophia had Barramundi (fish) and I had the lamb souvlaki.
We then went out to search to buy Uggs and t shirts for our family and us. We ended up at the Harborside Shopping Centre. We found a lot of shops that sold Uggs and ended up at one where we bought slippers for everyone. We could not find any t shirt shops that sold shirts with Sydney, the zoo, Koalas or other touristy shirts that would be a reminder of our trip when we wore them.
On the whole trip the best place to buy these shirts was in Melbourne at the flea market. Maybe the big flea market in Sydney may have these shirts and other souvenirs but it was located far from where we were and would have involved taking a taxi or Uber.
Afterwards we took an Uber back to the hotel and chilled for awhile.
We decided to go to a Fratelli's that the concierge said was closer to the hotel.
It was located in the basement of an office building and the hostess led us into the back of the restaurant. It was packed with young people drinking and eating and it was very loud.
Food was good- we ate and left and back to the hotel. The backs are packed and we are ready to go home tomorrow.
