Day 17: Cairns to Sydney

Our flight to Sydney was not until this afternoon, so we had a late leisurely breakfast at a restaurant on the beach and then walked along the beach quite a long way.  After our walk we changed into our “cool” weather clothes for the trip down the coast. 

In keeping with the theme of our flight departures, this one was also delayed.  Only 20 minutes this time and we had no connecting flight to worry about, so it was not a big deal.

When we arrived in Sydney, we took a “maxi” taxi, which we all fit in (!), to our new and final abode.

Our new temporary “home”, is beautiful.  It is a single home dwelling built in the 1800’s that has been eloquently renovated and decorated to preserve its heritage.  It is right on the Sydney Harbour and from the vantage point on the rooftop lookout there is an amazing view of Sydney.

We are all looking forward to exploring Sydney tomorrow.
