The first time!

I know this is the classic scene of Sydney and many have photographed it much better than my little "snapshot", but it is the FIRST time I have ever been south of the eqator and seen this view. I was totaly blown away to be here. My friends took me straight from what seemed a series of endless flights from Bahrain, but eventually I got here and had a wonderful day sightseeing. Must go to sleep now, but this is just Day 1 of my adventure. I am now south of Sydney staying with friends until Saturday, when I join my daughter's ship the MS Volendam for a month's cruise! Yippeee! Very tired but VERY EXCITED!
