Day two in Sydney is best seen here, Ferrying Around. I know some of you read both mine and Christine's blogs, so to save you some time, we are trying to coordinate.
On day three, Toby and Christine had bought us a sailing trip on the tall ships. Toby started out as our tour guide and we walked past this tree.
We did a little shopping on our way to meet Christine for lunch while she was at work. There was a Columbia store going out of business and we couldn't help ourselves but to take advantage of the deals!
After we left Christine, she asked Toby to be sure and take plenty of pictures, here's what she got.

Actually, he did a great job.
The ship was made by a Dane in the 1700's. It was used to shuttle prisoners from England. It was restored in the 1950's.
The trip was a lot of fun. We motored out and sailed back. There were snacks too. We had fried wanton purses, garlic shrimp, spinach and feta quiches, satay curry chicken, mango and yogurt, and brownies. We were full by the time we docked back at Circular Quay.

The view of the bridge, skyline, and opera house was amazing.
Here's our real captain, Marty.
The crew lived on the ship. They have a 3 month contract. Chris was pretty close to having a job offer. I'm sure he would love to be on a ship in Australia for 3 months. He'd make it back to Sweden just in time for spring. The below quarters were actually pretty roomy.
Toby was waiting back at the dock for us and we headed for pizza at a cool pub in the Rocks.
