For the rest of the ship it was turnaround day with about 1600 departing and another 1600 to get on. As we were transit passengers we were able to go ashore and do our own thing. It was Easter, so high on the list was a visit to Haighs Chocolate shop and we had a shopping list prepared. Once that was taken care of we decided to go to the Old Vienna cafe for a coffee and plan the rest of the day. Originally I thought we might have gone to Fort Dennison for a look and see the cannon firing at 1pm but we decided to drop that idea and head over to Luna Park instead. All aboard was 3:30pm so we didn't want to go too far afield. We caught the train back to Circular Quay and grabbed the ferry across to Luna Park. None of us are interested in the rides, and we really just wanted to have a look around. We ended up buying a 10 ticket pack for the side-show games and managed to win lots of useless stuff such as googly-eye glasses, fluffy dices, stuffed Nemos, and over large sunglasses. We were planning to have lunch at Luna park but the lines for the food were huge and the prices high. By then we had all had enough and decided to return to the ship for a late lunch, with the intention of going for a walk around to the opera house after. By the time we had lunch we were all tired and only had an hour left of our day in Sydney and decided to stay on board.
Sailaway was fantastic and I took more footage of us leaving Sydney.
