Tomorrow is the wedding that our whole trip has been planned around. We are excited. When we get to Sydney we travel to Watson's Bay, the location of the wedding. I have to pick up the wedding present in downtown Sydney, or the CBD (central business district). We are trying to determine the best plan for that!
We had a really nice day in Melbourne yesterday. It was great to be on land. We explored some of the city and spent most of your time in the Victoria Market, which included a wonderful traditional market, food stalls, and a huge flea market. I said I was not going to do this, but I shopped. I have so many granddaughter and great niece and nephew presents! My suitcase is bulging and I need to buy a small one to put everything new in!
We also went to see the Cook Cottage, that was moved to Melbourne from England. We put on some period clothes and had a few pictures taken. The park where the cottage is was beautiful. We stopped at Federation Park for a drink and to do some people watching before going back for our last night on the ship.
The best part of the ship was the nice people we met. We had dinner and breakfast this morning with a couple from Toronto who are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary this year. And there were so many others from all over the U.S., Scotland, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand.
Here are some pictures:
