ATW-2 Day 2: Sydney, Australia

Breakfast room and Mariners Court Hotel
Hotel breakfast

We had breakfast at the hotel and met Leo and Gloria, a couple from Canada who will be driving around Australia for 5 weeks. The weather was iffy – cloudy, cool and a little drizzle – so we didn’t rush right out after breakfast. Instead we played some knock rummy and Marlene continued to whip my butt.

The complementary hotel breakfast is VERY good. Eggs, sausage, ham, mushrooms, toast, juices, yogurt, coffee. Really excellent.

When we ventured out it was to walk to the The Rocks section of Sydney, near where the ship docked yesterday. We found lots of little shops but they were pricey. So we walked down George St and finally found a place that we thought had reasonable prices. We bought 4 t-shirts and a couple of souvenir magnets.

On the way there we stopped in the Museum of Modern Art but didn’t do much other than get some photos with some funky sculpture.

Then it started to rain. We made it back to the hotel without getting soaked but were tired and napped. We had leftovers for dinner – the chinese fast food we bought yesterday.

We went to bed early, leaving the TV on. I awoke at about 3am and was surprised to see a live NFL game – Denver Broncos and New York Jets playing in London.
