We are now at the Sydney International airport and the beginning of our trip home! If we calculated the time zones correctly, we'll be home in about 27-28 hours!
Our last day in Sydney was totally awesome! We started the day with a backstage tour of the Opera House (a truly fascinating building) ending with breakfast in the "green room"! We learned a new term. Apparently every large theater / performance house has a "green room", typically off limits to those not performing or working at the theater, where stars and workers can gather, eat, etc. It was early, before rehersals start so we only saw the worker bees.
After the Opera House tour, we took a water taxi to Rose Bay, boarded a Seaplane and took a 30 minute flight up the coast from Sydney then back down and up the harbor for a pass by the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. Again, we had a beautiful sunshiney day and could see "forever"!
Last night, our last night in Australia, we had dinner at the 360 Dining at the Sydney Tower. What a delightful way to spend our last evening! We were there high above the city looking down on the lights below for about 2.5 hours, long enough to make almost 3 rotations of the dining room.
It has been a WONDERFUL trip that we have thoroughly enjoyed and, we're certainly looking forward to sleeping in our own bed tonight (whenever that is!)!
