Birthday celebrations
I must have gotten used to being rocked to sleep on the ship as I didn't sleep as well on land! However, I woke up another year older - obviously not looking it after the relaxing cruise! We had a light breakfast as we were saving our food intake for Doyles. I walked around to the local French patisserie (I'm adopting it now) to order coffee - and a tiny little pastry because it is my birthday after all! They even had lilacs (my birthday flower) on the counter so I was feeling very special. After our lazy morning, we headed down to Circular Quay at about 11:30am in order to get the ferry across to Watson's Bay. It was quite overcast but still very pleasant.Arriving at Doyles, we had a lovely table reserved. Straight into the Jansz and having already studied the menu, we knew we were here for the seafood platter! It took us a couple of hours to get through it but oh, was it worth it!! We got the 3pm ferry back, stopping at our "local" french patisserie for a coffee and had a little rest before meeting a cousin and her husband for dinner. They took us down to a new restaurant in the renovated wharves on the Darling Harbour side of the Bridge. We didn't need to eat much so we had an entree and I had a little tart, which came with a birthday candle and waitresses singing! It was a lovely night out and nice to catch up with Inara and Robert.
We walked back along the water and there was a spectacular fireworks display behind the opera house. I was so impressed at the effort they had gone to for my birthday!
A lovely way to celebrate my birthday.

What a great cruise and way to spend your "40th". Happy birthday from us. You seemed to have done a lot of eating relaxing and enjoying. Well done. So different ( but both as good) to life on the road. Where were those favourite seats you were getting each concert? Catch up soon. Neill and Jude
